The Orchid Thief author Susan Orlean reopens the unsolved mystery of the most catastrophic library fire in American history. On April 29, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. The fire was disastrous: It reached 2,000 degrees and burned for more than seven hours. Filled with heart, passion, and unforgettable characters, The Library Book (Simon & Schuster) is an homage to a beloved institution that remains a vital part of the heart, mind, and soul of our country and culture.
