BOW: A Death in Vienna

A Death in Vienna by Daniel Silva


Silva is the author of the Gabriel Allon Series, an ongoing saga following the life of Mario Delvecchio, a world renowned art restorer. However, those inside the "office" know that art restoration is simply a hobby and refer to this man as Gabriel Allon: chief assassin and protege to a secret Israeli intelligence agency. Working under the direction of Ari Shamron, Allon travels most of Europe and around the rest of the world to solve the world's most famous hidden secrets. A Death in Vienna sheds light onto one of history's darkest moments: the Holocaust. Hidden amongst testimonies, American CIA papers, and fake passports, the truths regarding the Death March from Nazi war camps are revealed in this emotional and suspenseful novel. Allon's goal in exposing the world to one of history's most serious wartime criminals, Erich Radek, is to gain the truth that he is so desperately trying to find for those who were lost.

let's get technical.

Gidget, gadget, got it. There are so many ways you can update your electronics. Don't try to keep up with every generation of new trends or you'll tire yourself out. Instead, keep it fun with little additions like the ones here. A joystick for your iPhone, gives you loads of joy and makes you feel like you're playing games such as PacMan right in the arcade. Give this mini instant camera from Fujifilm a try. Snapping pictures of friends and family is always fun, but giving them something special to bring home is even better. Earbuds? I like to refer them as earbugs: which is exactly what they are. These ladybug earbuds will keep you buzzing along all day long.

don't loose the change


According to Coinstar, the average American home has about $90 in loose change hiding amongst old piggy banks, couch cushions, pant pockets... and the list goes on and on. Do not let your change sink to the bottom of your purse. Keep it safe just like your credit cards and cash. This way the next time you need to feed the meter or pay for a pizza delivery tip, you can go directly for your snazzy coin purse. Both can be found, along with others, at Paper Source
sweet.
fun.
