Charlie Harris and his Maine Coon cat, Diesel, are embroiled in a new
mystery when a cold case suddenly heats up in the latest installment of
the New York Times bestselling series.
Charlie Harris is busy enjoying his new grandson when a mysterious man
with a connection to Charlie's family starts visiting the library,
bringing with him troubling questions about an unsolved murder...
Charlie may be a proud new grandfather, but he and Diesel still have
work to do at Athena College and the small Mississippi town's public
library. He's too busy to deal with true-crime writer Jack Pemberton,
who wants Charlie as the subject of his latest book--and who won't take
no for an answer.
A more appealing proposition for Charlie is spending time helping a
kind, elderly man navigate the library's genealogical database. But he's
shocked when he learns that the visitor's search is focused on a member
of his own family: his late aunt's husband.
Charlie befriends the man and considers inviting him to stay in his
home, but he's soon given reason to question that notion. Jack is
certain that Charlie's new houseguest was involved in a shocking
homicide that took place years ago in a small town near Athena. As this
cold case heats up, Charlie and Diesel have to uncover a killer who may
already be too close to home...
