Description

A PAEAN TO BOOKS, A MEDITATION ON LOVE, AND A POLICE PROCEDURAL WITH NO POLICE. With the words, "You look like an honest man," retired English teacher Charlotte London approaches Quill Gordon in a small-town café and gives him a manila envelope for safekeeping. That night, a fire destroys her house, her body is found in the ruins, and Gordon is no longer an investor on a fishing trip, but the unwitting custodian of her family history and personal journal from 25 years ago. When the politically sensitive sheriff seems content to call the fire an accident, Gordon and his friend Peter Delaney team up with an aging-hippie newspaper editor, a librarian who talks too much, a factoid-obsessed local historian, and Charlotte's best friend to investigate her death. Is the critical clue in the family history, which digs into a controversial land development and suggests her father's "accidental" death may not have been so accidental? Or is it in her journal, where, amid reflections on Pride and Prejudice and Anna Karenina, Charlotte chronicles an illicit love affair? Something in those documents is worth killing for, and the investigation becomes increasingly personal (and perilous) for Gordon and his associates, who need a solution before one of them becomes the next corpse.
