Sinossi

An amateur sleuth investigates a case of books worth killing for in this classic English crime novel by the author of the Department Z series.

However, neither of them expected the arrival of Felicity’s American relatives to plunge them into an international drug smuggling conspiracy. 
 
Wealthy Uncle Zebediah is amassing an extensive library of antique books. Unfortunately, his latest acquisition has drawn attention from a group of criminals desperate enough to kill. But why? With the police proving useless, it’s up to Dawlish to deliver justice before his guests’ visit ends in murder . . .

    "For sheer readability he has no peer" —Evening Standard 
     
     
     
    Paris in the 1960s caters for every taste, and nowhere more than at the private "clinic" run by the enigmatic Monsieur Datt on Avenue Foch, which supplies psychedelic drugs and sexual favors to the city's elite—all the while secretly filming guests in order to blackmail them. Into this decadent underworld steps a bespectacled British spy. Sent on what seems like a simple mission, he soon finds himself playing a game where the rules are unknown—and even victory could be fatal.

    A USA Today Bestselling series! 
    Journalist and editor of The Branson Tribune, Kate Saxee, has a lot going on. Her mom is in a war with a neighbor, Kate’s trying to navigate her love life after a memorable Halloween party, and it looks like a serial killer might be on the loose in her small rural community that’s getting bigger by the day. 
    Utah’s population is booming and new houses are being built faster than LDS/Mormon temples. When human remains are found on a piece of Branson Falls property being developed, everyone thinks the bones belong to a lost hiker. But when more bodies are discovered, it quickly becomes clear that this was no accident. 
    Rumors are swirling that the remains could have been victims of a notorious serial killer, and that attracts the attention of a popular true crime podcast, the Murderoonies, who descend on Branson Falls to cover the case and help Kate investigate—whether Kate wants their help or not. And they're not just covering the crime, they're also very interested in Kate's love life. 
    Drake is the legal representative for the real estate developer, and Hawke is assisting law enforcement, which means Kate is working closely with them both. Given what happened at the Halloween party, that's about as awkward as "hussy" Kate in church. 
    Kate's focused on finding out who's responsible for the dead bodies, and she's digging up secrets. Someone wants the information she's uncovering to remain hidden, and they'll do anything to make sure it stays that way...even if it means burying more bodies.
