Upon This Rock is "for those readers who love Italy and who love crime fiction" (Lucinda Hawksley, great-great-great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens, author of Dickens’s Artistic Daughter, Katey). "Perry's novel sparkles with campy wit but is written with serious clues that keep you reading. And, oh yes, because it is a mystery, there's a killer of a surprise at the end. Move over, Sam Spaid and Nick and Nora Charles. Welcome the new kids to the neighborhood, Lee and Adriano" (Will Snyder, Bay Area Reporter). Upon This Rock is "a perfect read for anyone who is into thrillers, mysteries and historical fiction, like John Grisham and Dan Brown for sure“ (Ankita Dasgupta, The Bookworm Resort).

(Erika Atkinson, author of Ode to the Castro). "You will not find a more exquisite, captivating, well written first novel than David Eugene Perry’s Upon This Rock. I was literally hooked from the first chapter. Set in the Italian city of Orvieto, Perry takes us on a roller-coaster ride that begins with the Sixteenth Century papacy of the de Medici Pope, Clement VII, and then quickly plummets us to the present day. A wonderfully addictive and engrossing story with brilliant characters and an ending that will have you perusing your favorite bookstore looking for Perry’s next novel" (Dennis Koller, author of The Rhythm of Evil). "You will not be able to put his book down. It is a page-turner from the first sentence until the twisted unexpected ending (Lynn Ruth Miller, author of Getting the Last Laugh). In short, David Eugene Perry's Upon This Rock is "a potboiler thriller with nail-biting suspense" ( Lew J. Whittington, New York Journal of Books) a "sexy, historical thriller" (Julissa James, Nob Hill Gazette): "a love letter to Orvieto like Tales of the City is a love letter to San Francisco" (Eric Jansen, SF Bay Times & Out In the Bay).
