<DIV><b>With eviction looming, St. Ives searches for a big payday and a rare book</b></div><DIV><BR>Philip St. Ives has no love for New York&rsquo;s drafty, broken-down Adelphi Hotel, but he is in no mood to be evicted from it. His cash dwindling, he is happy to learn about a job that calls for his specific talents as a mediator between thieves and their victims. It sounds like the set-up to a bad joke: A thief, an insurance salesman, and the Library of Congress call Philip&rsquo;s lawyer to ask about a stolen copy of Pliny&rsquo;s <i>Historia Naturalis</i>. To find it, Philip will risk becoming history himself.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>The book was stolen on its way from the Library of Congress to California, and the detective guarding it vanished as well. Mired in snow-choked Washington, DC, St. Ives must arrange for a pair of ransoms to avoid becoming a victim of book collectors who value a nice first edition over an investigator&rsquo;s life.</div>
