{"product_id":"the-librarian-9781560256366","title":"The Librarian","description":"How on earth did nebbish university librarian David Goldberg end up on Virginia's Ten Most Wanted Criminals list for bestiality? And how did he get ensnared in a vast right-wing conspiracy to steal the presidency? It all begins so innocently when Goldberg starts moonlighting for eccentric, conservative billionaire Alan Carston Stowe as an archivist. But Goldberg's appointment worries a cabal of ruthless right-wingers -- ostensibly allies of Stowe, whose money lubricates their zany scary conspiracies -- with very close ties to the White House. They fear that Goldberg will find something in Stowe's records that will compromise the dirty tricks involved in re-electing Augustus Winthrop Scott, the dim scion of a powerful Republican political family, for a second term. As the presidential election heads into its final stretch, the hunt is on to remove Goldberg from his position -- by any means necessary. The acclaimed, Edgar-winning mystery writer Larry Beinhart returns with this timely novel. In the tradition of Carl Hiassen, Elmore Leonard, and Joe Klein, \u003ci\u003eThe Librarian\u003c\/i\u003e is a frenetic, scary and hilarious thriller that goes deep into the dark heart of election year politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nation Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781560256366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.80w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Edgar Allan Poe Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2004 pg. 756\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/06\/2004 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/20\/2004 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2004 pg. 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/17\/2004 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2004 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Larry Beinhart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659808469148,"sku":"9781560256366","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_587b55a8-e248-40bc-99ed-b5588fac3e50.jpg?v=1603895505","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-librarian-9781560256366","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
