Book deal of the day

Emilio Calderon's debut novel THE CREATOR'S MAP, about a Spanish
architect in the 1930s caught in a web of intrigue involving a
librarian, a prince and a map, to Scott Moyers at Penguin Press, for six
figures, in a pre-empt, by Thomas Colchie, on behalf of the Antonia
Kerrigan Literary Agency (NA).
What hath Dan Brown wrought? Does every blockbuster deal now have to be a romantic thriller involving a bookish yet globe-trotting hunk of man? And the "librarian" -- how much you want to bet she's played by Catherine Zeta-Jones in glasses? Please!

Oh, that's right. It's a book, not a movie. Yet.
