What We're Reading: Edward

Book of Spies
by Gayle Lynds
The Emperor Trajan's Column in Rome is a well know tourist spot. But few know that Trajan loved books. In fact the column was built to be in the courtyard between two libraries. Later Trajan's collection of books was moved to the Eastern Empire. It became the foundation for the Library of Gold. Later Emperors added books and had them covered with gold and jewels. With the fall of the empire the collection eventually became the property of the Russian Tsar. Now a secret cabal has the books and their secrets. One of the books, the Book of Spies, is stolen from the Library. It was smuggled out with secret information on a bank account for terrorists. Is the terror plot the work of the group or just one of the members? The cabal and the CIA both struggle to get possession of the book and its secrets. Will the secrets of the Library of Gold be revealed?
