In a highly innovative move, Irionbooks.com announces the release of Abandoned on Everest. “The release is unprecedented in publishing history to the best of our knowledge,” said publisher Charles G. Irion. The book is unique in that it is ostensibly written by a fictional character, Quentin Stern, who appears in the company’s flagship murder mystery, Murder on Everest. Abandoned on Everest is referenced in the plot of Murder on Everest. “We wrote the book because we found the character of Quentin Stern so interesting,” said Irion. “The book is a prequel to Murder on Everest. Stern is a tabloid writer who takes liberties with the facts. For anyone who has read Murder on Everest, Stern’s book will be a fascinating read.” Though Quentin Stern is identified as the author, writers Charles G. Irion and Ronald J. Watkins, who actually wrote the book, are also credited. “It’s a unique literary opportunity for those who love this genre,” said Irion.
