✦ Synopsis

Short tales about deadly books, by top mystery authors

**When a bibliophile is murdered, it takes a bookseller to solve the crime

Good Advice, New Mexico, is a sunny town with a gloomy bookshop. The store�s eerie corridors are the province of Avery Sharecross, an ex-cop who has made the transition from chasing killers to tracking rare books. One afternoon, the local sheriff interrupts his book club meeting, and Sharecross�s old career collides with his new one.

The area�s premier book collector has been found bludgeoned to death on the floor of his family library. A fifth-generation resident of Good Advice, Lloyd Fister devoted his life to books, accumulating a collection of local history that date backs to the sixteenth century. In his library, a single volume is missing: a Spanish book with a sinister past. Is the missing volume a clue, a motive, or a murder weapon? It will take a collector�s eye to decide.
