Short tales about deadly books, by top mystery authors
A thrilling Condor novella from the bestselling author of Six Days of the Condor.
Vin, a name of convenience for the agent known as Condor, has been released from psychiatric care and it’s back to work. Unfortunately, he’s been assigned the mundane job of sorting through books meant for the incinerator instead of the high-adrenaline rush of being a covert spy for the CIA. Struggling to separate hallucinations from reality, Condor attempts to immerse himself in the task at hand, but his acute sense of danger soon overwhelms him. While wandering the labyrinth of the Library of Congress’s subterranean tunnels, he encounters a damsel in distress. Someone is following her, and Condor can’t resist the lure of covert ops—or placing his own life in jeopardy.
James Grady revolutionized the thriller genre with his CIA analyst codenamed Condor, immortalized by Robert Redford in Three Days of the Condor, and currently portrayed by Max Irons in the all-new TV series Condor.
The Bibliomysteries are a series of short tales about deadly books, by top mystery authors.

“"Мистериозно-виртуозно" в link: http://topchochanbooks.blogspot.bg/2017/04/book-review_26.html
"Кондор на лавиците" на Джеймс Грейди също беше новела с история. Побелелият Кондор, или Вин, главният герой тук си има и собствени, пълнометражни романи, и с голямо удоволствие в бъдеще бих се докопала до някой от тях. С книжните си почти-халюцинации и броденето из Библиотеката на Конгреса на ръба между реалността и лудостта, Вин беше изключително интересен и необикновен герой. Напомни ми естествено и на "Легион", макар Вин да не беше още толкова на "ти" с халюцинациите си. Тук отново имаме книжен заговор, дама в беда и един завършек, пълен с огън и танци.”

“What. The. Heck. This is the most confusing thing I think I've ever read. Maybe you have to have read the full-length Condor novels to get it. Grady's writing style completely puts me off. I just found it incredibly bizarre.”
