The Geographer's Library
The Geographer's Library | Jon Fasman
7 posts | 14 read | 10 to read
Jon Fasmans dizzyingly plotted intellectual thriller suggests a marriage between Dan Brown and Donna Tartt. When reporter Paul Tomm is assigned to investigate the mysterious death of a reclusive academic, he finds himself pursuing leads that date back to the twelfth century and the theft of alchemical instruments from the geographer of the Sicilian court. Now someone is trying to retrieve them. Interspersed with the present action are the stories of the men and women who came to possess those charmedand sometimes cursedartifacts, which have powers that go well beyond the transmutation of lead into gold. Deftly combining history, magic, suspense, and romanceand as handsomely illustrated as an ancient incunabulumThe Geographers Library is irresistible.

A mashup of Bourne Identity and Raiders of the Lost Ark with a sprinkling of Da Vinci Code, layered over a murder mystery. In a quiet little town in Connecticut. Interesting story. #50states #mystery

@Emiller Wow! Thank you so much for all of this! Considering it's been a tough time recently for you, you've done really well - I've never heard of the tagged book and I am excited to read it! I'm also looking forward to Brooklyn - I enjoy his nonfiction book so I'll look forward to trying his fiction! Thanks again so much!

Emiller Yay! Glad you like everything!! And I‘m so glad it got there before Christmas. The post office had told me that it may not! Enjoy! 😊 6y
AmyG Brooklyn is SO lovely. 6y
Emiller I was hoping I hadn‘t picked things you had already read (I did check but my brain isn‘t working great lately) 6y

A body of Estonian professor was found in his #library. One look at the library reveals 15 empty shelves. Investigation into missing books and artifacts tells of amazing historic adventures.
