PRAISE FOR JIM LEHRER
The Franklin Affair
"This is an amazing as well as delightful novel. Historically savvy and revealing, it captures some fascinating controversies about Franklin's life and provides a deft satire of the world of academic writers. Yet it's also a fun tale of mystery, sleuthing, and romance done with great literary flair."
-WALTER ISAACSON, author of Benjamin Franklin
