"The Geographer's Library" is one of many new releases that have been favorably compared to "The DaVinci Code." It is not that. Alan Furst, the accomplished author of WWII espionage thrillers, describes Jon Fasman's first novel as "a real reader's book." It is definitely that. While lacking the adrenalin-charged pace of DaVinci Code, "Geographer" is a cleverly conceived, intelligent novel illuminating the ancient and shadowy art of alchemy. Paul Tomm, a young journalist for a rural Connecticut weekly paper, sets out on a supposedly simple assignment to write the obituary of town resident and college professor Jann Puhapaev. Puhapaev's death - and life, as it turns out - are shrouded in mystery, and Tomm is drawn into a deliciously convoluted plot spanning a millennium and four continents. A number of priceless artifacts, stolen from the alchemist of the 11th century's King of Sicily, begin showing up in unlikely places. With the help of a former professor and his policeman brother, Tomm begins connecting the dots while attracting some unwanted and malevolent attention. This is a risky venue, accomplished with aplomb in Dan Brown's "DaVinci", while more often attempts to capture Brown's formula have bogged down in hip-deep minutia and laughingly improbable plots. While Fasman's effort borders at times on tedium, there is sufficient mystery and intrigue to keep the reader hooked to the climax. "The Geographer's Library" could have benefited from a more ruthless editor's cut of another fifty pages or so, but this is nonetheless an impressive debut, well worth the reader's time and attention.
