The Case of Einstein's Violin

William L. Sullivan presents his second novel:

In this wacky mystery, half of a missing Einstein formula turns up in a violin case in an Oregon attic. When Ana Smyth sells the case on eBay she suddenly finds herself dodging international spies. To find the rest of the formula and uncover the truth about her own family history, she races through Europe — from a Greek monastery to an Italian cyclotron, the Slovenian Alps, and the German city where Einstein was born.

Sullivan, the author of numerous guides to hiking in the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere, will present a slide show on "Hiking in Europe" and a reading from "The Case of Einstein's Violin" at Bloomsbury Books in downtown Ashland this Friday, April 27, at 7:30. He will also present a slide show on "Oregon's Most Beautiful Trips & Trails" at Oregon Books, 937 NE "D" Street, Grants Pass this Saturday, April 28, at 3:00.
