Poor Spitz. I hope everyone has been having their fun with the headlines. As for myself, I’ve gotten the gist and that’s about all I need on this one. If you too seek to distract yourself from the coquettish posings of every major news source, why not do so with a recently published trade paperback? Right?
The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber, a NY Times bestseller in hardcover, follows two New York antique booksellers as they discover and interpret the mysterious writings of Richard Bracegirdle, a 15th-century knight with a secret that will shake the foundations of Western civilization! USA Today called it, “Breathlessly engaging…brilliant…few [thrillers] will surpass The Book of Air and Shadows when it comes to energetic writing, compellingly flawed characters, literary scholarship, and mathematical conundrums. Air and Shadows is also incredibly smart….unpredictable…We never had this much fun reading The Da Vinci Code. Gruber has raised the stakes in the thriller genre.”
