The Librarian

A Novel

Larry Beinhart
September 2004     ISBN: 1560256362

How did nebbish university librarian David Goldberg end up hunted by Homeland Security and on Virginia's Ten Most Wanted list for bestiality?

It begins so innocently, when Goldberg starts moonlighting for an eccentric, aging conservative billionaire whose final wish is to leave behind memorial library about himself. But the most memorable thing about him is a secret that must never be revealed--he is part of a plot to steal the presidential election. It's one of those moments when knowledge is a dangerous thing and a little knowledge is even more dangerous, and the men with the guns want to kill the fellow indexing the archives.

What readers are saying

"The man really can write."

--New York Times
