February 2004

Among the books featured in this month's roundup of New in Paperback titles are four bestsellers that received much acclaim when first released in hardcover --- THE DANTE CLUB, an historical thriller from debut author Matthew Pearl; PATTERN RECOGNITION, William Gibson's first novel to be set in the present; Bruce Feiler's ABRAHAM, in which the author searches for the man at the heart of the world's three monotheistic religions; and THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY, Erik Larson's fascinating account of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and the serial killer who used the fair to lure his victims to their death.
