Books Tell You Why, Inc.

A handsome first edition/first printing in Near Fine condition with lightly soiled fore edge in alike dust-jacket. SIGNED by author Steve Berry on the title page.

When a group of college friends reunite for their 25-year high school reunion, they are shocked to find that one of their number - their brainy, bookish friend, Steve - has disappeared. Steve had always been a little too introspective for their liking, but his disappearance is particularly puzzling. When they finally track him down to his home in Vermont, they find out that he's been living a secret life as a writer. Steve has written a novel that is a thinly-veiled retelling of the life of Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor. The friends are surprised and intrigued by Steve's passion for the project, but they are also a little scared of what he might have gotten himself into. As they get to know Steve better, they realize that he is a deeply broken man, and they are also forced to confront their own memories and regrets. Slowly but surely, the friends come to understand that Steve is looking for redemption; 8vo; [xii], [3]-509, [510], [6] pages; Signed by Author.
