Bernie Weber, Math Genius Rides Again
Matt Flynn (Stiles ’69) announced the release of China Code, the second in his series of novels about Bernie Weber, a math genius at the University of Wisconsin. (The first, Milwaukee Jihad was reviewed here last year.)
From the blurb:
A team of Chinese Communist assassins comes to America to kill a young Math genius and his CIA protector. The gangs of Milwaukee take the ChiComs on.
In this darkly comic thriller, young Bernie Weber is about to prove the Riemann Hypothesis, the most difficult problem in mathematics, which is also the key to breaking China’s new cryptology. The CIA sends two incompetent agents to protect him, but they are entrapped in a sex scandal. Only CIA agent Audrey Knapp is left to hold off the killers, but she can’t do it by herself. When she recruits the Black and Latino gangs of Milwaukee to defend Bernie, the Chinese are in for a surprise.
Matt knows whereof he speaks: a career as an attorney in the preeminent Milwaukee firm and a stint as the Chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, Matt has more than passing familiarity with the people and places appearing in China Code.
One of two books in the Bernie Weber series.
Matt Flynn is a gifted author. His novel belongs on the New York Times best seller list.
Thank you, Claes! Here’s to 19 Vanderbilt!
