Plot:
Joel Sloane is a rare book dealer and part-time detective. He finds stolen or lost rare books for insurance companies and gets a reward for their return. But this is a little different. Otto Brockler, a rare book dealer with questionable ethics, has been murdered. The list of suspects is long - Ned, whom Otto sent to prison in order to receive insurance money, and keep him away from Leah; Leah, who is in love with the falsely convicted Ned; Elias, a silent partner in stolen and forged books; Sydney, a master forger of rare books; and Julia, Otto's secretary who has expensive clothes and jewelry. Joel is the one who must find the murderer before he becomes the next victim.
