Review
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
Flying Crows
"[A] touching novel about lost souls, loneliness, and life's small triumphs . . . Lehrer's fourteenth novel is an expertly researched, warmly told tale, rich in suspense and drama. . . . A highly personal story, quiet in tone and scope, yet booming in emotional intensity."
-Publishers Weekly
The Special Prisoner
"[Lehrer] runs through his plot deftly. He springs surprise after surprise on the reader."
-Los Angeles Times
"[Lehrer] writes quirky thrillers, swiftly paced with a cleverly concealed solution. . . . [No Certain Rest is] a rousing tale of intrigue."
-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
White Widow
"Tender and tragic . . . entirely satisfying."
-The Washington Post From the Hardcover edition.
