For some patrons of Princeton's library, books are their whole lives. But for one bookworm, they will also spell death.
McLeod Dulaney has returned to Princeton as a visiting professor-and as a lifelong lover of the written word, she spends a good amount of time browsing the Rare Books collection, where she makes fast friends. But soon she finds one of her new friends murdered in an 18th-century study-and the murder weapon is missing. To further confuse matters, McLeod learns that her temporary home was the site of a murder some years back, and everyone seems to have a different version of the story. A seasoned reporter, McLeod's intrigued and goes about investigating both murders. Could they have been connected? Only one thing is for sure-this is not murder by the book.
