✦ Synopsis

An ingenious killer with a penchant for rare books is targeting the Crescent City's elite in this 1930s mystery by the authors of The Invisible Host.
A distressing rumor is circulating through New Orleans that one of the city's prized artifacts—a fragment of the Gutenberg Bible—has been stolen. But when the rumor comes true and is followed by a series of murders, distress turns to outright panic. As the rich and powerful are targeted, newspapers churn out breathless headlines, and the police are left increasingly baffled.
Many stand to gain from the death of the victims, and each new clue only adds to the list of suspects. Now district attorney Dan Farrell must turn to a local crime reporter for help in unravelling a twisting plot of passion, deceit, and murder of truly tragic proportions.
