This is espionage at its best with all the twists and turns you'd expect, a 'can't put it down' pace, and an ending that knocks your socks off. Steinhauer has crafted an enticing modern-day spy novel with such a surprising plot we find ourselves wondering at the end just who the proverbial 'good guys' really are!" -- Barbara Drake, White Birch Books, North Conway, NH]]></description>

<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780312642365</link>
<description><![CDATA["This is a haunting, beautifully written book about a teenage boy's quest to find his sister, who's been missing for a year.  His own quest is mirrored by a police Detective who has let things in his own life slip as he becomes as obsessed with the case as the missing girl's brother.

<title><![CDATA[Await Your Reply: A Novel]]></title>
<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780345476036</link>
<description><![CDATA["This book sets the standard for contemporary literary fiction.  Gorgeous writing infuses the increasingly fraught and suspenseful narrative with an otherworldly, ageless quality; in some ways, this story could only happen now, yet its characters and their struggle for a sense of identity are also timeless.  The three intertwining narratives each hold their own delights, and are peopled with characters you can care about deeply, and others you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.  In the end, though, even the unappealing tug at your heart." -- Beth Simpson, Cornerstone Books, Englewood, CO]]></description>
