The Franklin Affair - Hardcover

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

No Certain Rest
"[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
