Lost in a Good Book

Thursday was very wrong if she believed she could stay out of the limelight after her brave adventures in Jane Eyre. The remarkable literary investigator, described by The New York Times' Michiko Kakutani as "part Nancy Drew, part Bridget Jones, and part Dirty Harry," had yet another brilliant idea. Everyone's favorite corrupt multinational, Goliath, has eliminated the love of her life. In order to save him, Thursday has to find a purportedly defeated adversary inside the pages of "The Raven." But even the most experienced literary trespasser cannot enter Poe's world. Here's a pro: Dickens's Great Expectations's man-hating Miss Havisham. Thursday, her new apprentice, works as a Prose Resource Operative within books while learning the ins and outs of Jurisfiction, all the while keeping her motivations under wraps. Not only is Thursday the protagonist of a recently discovered play by the Bard himself, but she's also the authenticator of a series of potentially deadly coincidences and the only one who can stop an unidentified pink sludge from consuming all life on Earth. As if diving into the works of authors like Austen, Kafka, and Beatrix Potter's Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies wasn't enough.
