By the author of The Alienist. I read this one quite a while ago and enjoyed it very much. Picked it up at a library book sale as a perfect specimen to release for both the What's In a Name Challenge and the D is for December Challenge.

Left this one on table outside of Starbuck's with a big yellow sticky-note on my way to the train this morning, since this is a very well-traveled path. Someone may well be wanting a book to read on the train, and the weather was clear if very cold!

Released as part of the D is for December Challenge, 2010, and the What's in a Name? Challenge, 2010 (ANGEL)
