David Herlihy will sign The Lost Cyclist: The Epic Tale of an American Adventurer and His Mysterious Disappearance. Frank Lenz dreamed of cycling around the world. In the spring of 1892 he set out west to cover twenty thousand miles over three continents as a correspondent for Outing magazine. Two years later, after having survived countless near disasters and unimaginable hardships, he disappeared in eastern Turkey. Herlihy's gripping narrative captures the soaring joys and constant dangers accompanying the bicycle adventurer in the days before paved roads and automobiles. This untold story culminates with efforts to bring Lenz's accused murderers to justice, even as troubled Turkey teetered on the edge of collapse.
