This month’s book club pick is Nicked by MT Anderson. From the award-winning and bestselling author of Feed comes a raucous, slyly funny, and delightful work of historical fantasy, based on a bizarre but true quest to steal the mystical corpse of a long-dead saint. The year is 1087, and a pox is sweeping through the Italian city of Bari. Nicephorous, a lowly monk, and Tyun, a charismatic treasure hunter, are on a heist for the ages to commit sacrilegious theft. Based on real historical accounts, Nicked is a swashbuckling saga, a medieval noir, a meditation on the miraculous, and a monastic meet-cute, filled with wide-eyed wonder at the world that awaits beyond our own borders.
