Daniel Levin's debut thriller, The Last Ember (Riverhead, newly in paper), received a lot of praise and built up a readership, one which now seems poised to grow with the paperback release. A young American lawyer with a background in classics goes to Rome, soon finding himself in a mystery with elements both ancient and contemporary. "One of the most capaciously learned of this new breed of hero makes his appearance in Daniel Levin's debut ... [Levin] brings the Roman ruins gruesomely to life ... [H]e seems to know the Eternal City's every nook and cranny ... It's not giving away the plot to report that [Jonathan] Marcus survives his adventures without resorting to gadgets or guns. Let's hope Levin brings him back to teach us, once again, the benefits of a classical education." - Los Angeles Times. "In his fast-paced, erudite, and original debut, Daniel Levin reveals a vivid world where archaeological, legal, and religious secrets swirl together into a thrilling nexus." - Matthew Pearl.
