Book 21 of 52 -- Brad Meltzer's The Book of Fate

So... I get the impression that Brad decided to mix his normal and workable formula with historical fiction that seemed to be taking over the literary world in late 2005 and early 2006.

The Book of Fate focuses on the Free Masons and their influence throughout American history... Here is a plot description I found.



"Trying to figure out what really happened on the worst day of his life will lead Wes on a chase that takes him back to that long-ago July 4th, back to a decade-old presidential crossword puzzle, back to ancient Masonic symbols hidden in the street plan of Washington, DC, and even back to a two-hundred year old secret code invented by Thomas Jefferson. Employing his mastery of Presidential lore and powerful secrets, and expanding to the glittering world of Palm Beach high society and its seedy fringes, Meltzer has crafted his fastest and boldest thriller yet."

It involves a lot of puzzles and fun times... but hey... who wants all of that when your book is good for the beach...

It was DaVinci Code light... and sometimes... that is a very good thing.
