   Dear Friends:   
      
   On Tuesday, May 14, HarperCollins will publish my new narrative nonfiction   
   book, "The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code."   
      
   Six years in the making (I am a senior writer at The New York Times,   
   originally trained as a linguist), the book tells the true story of the race   
   to decipher the mysterious Aegean Bronze Age Script known as Linear B.   
      
   Besides recounting the life stories of the three brilliant, obsessed and   
   ultimately doomed investigators whose combined work solved the riddle of the   
   script, I also take readers step by step through the forensic process involved   
   in deciphering a three-   
   thousand-year-old secret code.   
      
   In its recent starred review, Booklist described "The Riddle of the Labyrinth"   
   as having "an atmosphere of almost nail-biting suspense," adding, "While we’re   
   reading the book we’re on the edge of our seats."   
      
   Reserve your copy today, at http://www.harpercollins.com/books/T

   All my best,
