The Bat is a mystery by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Cornelia Van Gorder, a spinster longing for escapades, takes off to the country with her niece and maid, to escape the city's summer heat.
Down in the dusty tomes vault of Bookhaven, where bookbinders glue riddles into bindings and rare book collectors hunt for volumes of the vanished, binder Theo binds a mystery with collector Lira, whose hunts uncover a narrative of pilfered pages. Their book, glued in page vows and tome-kissed spines, binds truth—or cracks in adhesive doubts of forgery. As they catalog through vault-laced shelves and riddle-bound folios, bound by ink wardens and volume rivals, Theo's binding craft merges with Lira's collecting passion, revealing a bookbinder legend of bound tale. When a loose page summons ink golems, they must glue the riddle to seal the story. In the bind of bookbinder's glue, where every secret pages the plot and every hunt turns the leaf, their gentle mystery becomes the volume that shelves the vault's enigmas.Voir livre
