*Book of the Month Club Selection
*Indie Next Pick

â€œHugely entertainingâ€¦ The Last Equation of Isaac Severy is full of delight. Though Ms. Jacobsâ€™s writing has echoes of Thomas Pynchon, Nathanael West and J.D. Salinger, her terrific book displays in abundance a magic all its own.â€
â€”The Wall Street Journal

The Family Fang meets The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry in this literary mystery about a struggling bookseller whose recently deceased grandfather, a famed mathematician, left behind a dangerous equation for her to track downâ€”and protectâ€”before others can get their hands on it.

Just days after mathematician and family patriarch Isaac Severy dies of an apparent suicide, his adopted granddaughter Hazel, owner of a struggling Seattle bookstore, receives a letter from him by mail. In it, Isaac alludes to a secretive organization that is after his final bombshell equation, and he charges Hazel with safely delivering it to a trusted colleague. But first, she must find where the equation is hidden.

While in Los Angeles for Isaacâ€™s funeral, Hazel realizes sheâ€™s not the only one searching for his lifeâ€™s work, and that the equationâ€™s implications have potentially disastrous consequences for the extended Severy family, a group of dysfunctional geniuses unmoored by the sudden death of their patriarch.

As agents of an enigmatic company shadow Isaacâ€™s favorite sonâ€”a theoretical physicistâ€”and a long-lost cousin mysteriously reappears in Los Angeles, the equation slips further from Hazelâ€™s grasp. She must unravel a series of maddening clues hidden by Isaac inside one of her favorite novels, drawing her ever closer to his mathematical treasure. But when her efforts fall short, she is forced to enlist the help of those with questionable motives.
