Just What I Needed!


A friend who loves thrillers returned Brad Meltzer's Book of Fate to me a couple of weeks ago. I remember reading Meltzer's first book The Tenth Justice about ten years ago but just hadn't connected with any of his other titles over the years.

The Book of Fate is a great read and Meltzer has a Michigan connection since he graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in History. He also has a law degree from Columbia.

Wes Holloway remains loyal to the President even after being shot eight years earlier, but he suffers from survivor's guilt convinced his actions caused Ron Boyle's death. Then he glimpses Ron Boyle on a trip with the President. Masons, Thomas Jefferson, the Three, the Roman - how do these fit together to solve the puzzle of the Book of Fate.

Brad has 10, 368 'friends' on his MySpace. Click here if you want to be his friend too.
