A GEOGRAPHY OF SECRETS is Weekly Read
Author Frederick Reuss, acclaimed author of Horace Afoot, Henry of Atlantic City, and The Wasties, is featured with his novel A Geography of Secrets in our “Weekly Read.” Each week, the first chapter of one book from Unbridled Books is excerpted and posted on scrbd.com for viewing and download.
A Geography of Secrets, a Washington Post Top 10 pick, is the story of two men, one of whom discovers the cost of keeping secrets, of building a career within a government agency where secrets are the operational basis. Noel Leonard works for the Defense Intelligence Agency, mapping coordinates for military actions halfway around the world. One morning he learns that an error in his office is responsible for the bombing of a school in Pakistan. And he knows suddenly that he is as alone as he is wrong. From his windowless office in DC to an intelligence conference in Switzerland, and back to his daughter’s college in Virginia, Noel claws his way toward a more personally honest life in which he can tell his family everything every day.
Frederick Reuss is also the author of Mohr: A Novel, published by Unbridled Books in May, 2007.
