A Novel Death

Résumé du livre

Like many other used booksellers, Delhi Laine, proprietor of Secondhand Prose, dreams of making the Great Find if not a Shakespearean Folio, then at least a fragment of an Emily Dickinson or Edgar Allan Poe manuscript. But after receiving a very rare and valuable children's book into her collection, she finds out such treasures can come at a terrible cost the suspicious death of one colleague and another left for dead days later. Her investigation into the true owner of the book reveals that those around her are not what they seem, as she is drawn into a world of deception, backroom dealings, and forgery.

Despite the dangers, Delhi is determined to protect the treasure while coping with avaricious booksellers, her estranged famous-poet husband, and whoever is behind the attack who now has her in their sights.
