Meltzer, Brad Dead Even
Warner Vision March 1, 1999 0-446-60733-9 / 9780446607339 Paperback Very Good
Dead Even is truly gripping. Brad Meltzer has created characters that are r ealistic enough to be believable, but quirky enough to be captivating. The lawyers are especially determined and the criminals are especially sinister . Even more impressive than his characters is his don't-blink-or-you'll-mis s-something plot, which grabs you on page one and doesn't let go until you close the cover. When reading Dead Even, you may find yourself holding your breath as you furiously turn the pages. It's a legal thriller that gives G risham's books a run for their money.

Meltzer, Brad The Book of Fate
Vision May 1, 2007 0-446-61212-X / 9780446612128 Paperback Fine
Wes Holloway, a hotshot presidential aide, is wounded in an assassination a ttempt that kills the president's close friend. Eight years later, the dead man reappears, disfigured but very much alive and apparently stalking the former president. Wes thinks he can figure out what's going on, but to do s o he must decipher a two-century-old code and penetrate the secrets of Maso nic history. From his first novel, The Tenth Justice (1997), through his si xth, Identity Crisis (2005), Meltzer has served up exciting thrillers that take readers behind the scenes of American politics. The pattern doesn't ch ange this time. Like the television series The West Wing, Meltzer's novels focus on the political people the public never sees and tells the stories w e never hear. He could be accused here of jumping on the Da Vinci Code band wagon, but that wouldn't really be fair. He's too good a writer to waste hi s time imitating someone else's work, and this novel is much more skillfull y written--and far more plausible--than Dan Brown's tedious best-seller. Th e characters are genuine human beings--not all that common in the world of high-concept thrillers--and the plot fluidly integrates historical fact and fiction, which is even less common. Fans of thrillers that reach far back into history will be, well, . . . thrilled.

Meltzer, Brad The Book of Lies
Grand Central Publishing June 1, 2009 0-446-61614-1 / 9780446616140 Paperback As New
A crisp clean softcover (as new). Meltzer builds suspenseful fiction on a previously little-explored historical nugget: Jerry Siegel, the teenage creator of Superman, lost his father in an unsolved murder in 1932. The author offers a compelling theoretical solution by way of an adult protagonist who is dealing with his conflicted feelings about his own father. Cal works for a rescue mission, picking up vagrants in need of shelter, when he stumbles across a man who turns out to be the father who abandoned him in childhood. The two men join forces in pursuit of what they believe is the lost Book of Cain, the weapon used in the Bibles original murder scene. Meltzer invokes multiple viewpoints as Cal, his father, a mysterious young woman who seems to have befriended the father, a rogue ex-cop, and a hot Federal agent converge on Cleveland in search of the biblical treasure. Teens with a taste for international conspiracies, religion-spouting bad guys, and identity-switching will enjoy this fast ride that leaves some solid and intriguing questions in the wake of its driving plot. Suggest this one to kids who enjoy the likes of Dan Brown, as well as superhero comics.

Meltzer, Brad The Zero Game
Coronet Books September 13, 2 0-340-82503-0 / 9780340825037 Paperback Very Good
Meltzer credits 143 people in his acknowledgments, a testament to massive r esearch involving everything from the smallest details of our government's inner workings to the scientific complexities of chaos theory and advanced neutrino research. He's far too seasoned a pro (The Tenth Justice; The Mill ionaires) to ever let readers bog down in minutiae, though, using his impre ssive background material as rocket fuel for this rip-roaring novel of gove rnment intrigue. Best friends Matthew Mercer and Harris Sandler have worked for years as professional Capitol Hill staffers. With boredom and burnout threatening, they've joined a secret group of other like-minded workers to play the Zero Game, which uses congressional voting and government administ rative procedure as the basis for placing bets. "We don't change the laws, or pass bad legislation, or stroke our evil goatees and overthrow democracy as we know it. We play at the margins; where it's safe-and where it's fun. " The two decide to bet their life savings when a seemingly innocent approp riations item, the sale of an abandoned South Dakota gold mine, becomes par t of the game. Because of his senior position as an appropriations committe e staffer, Matthew is sure he has a lock on this one. Things go horribly wr ong, and soon Harris and Viv Parker, a young Senate page, are on the run, f leeing from hired killer Martin Janos. Their flight takes them to the aband oned gold mine, where they find more mystery and near death 8,000 feet belo w the surface of the earth. Janos, their nemesis, is relentless, as is the action, and readers will be left breathless.
