Book expert Brooklyn Wainwright discovers that murder is always a
bestseller in the first novel in the New York Times bestselling
Bibliophile Mystery series.
Brooklyn Wainwright is a skilled surgeon. Sure, her patients might smell
like mold and have spines made of leather, but no ailing book is going
to die on her watch. The same can't be said of Abraham Karastovsky,
Brooklyn's friend and former employer.
On the eve of a celebration for his latest book restoration, Brooklyn
finds her mentor lying in a pool of his own blood. With his final breath
Abraham leaves Brooklyn with a cryptic message, "Remember the Devil,"
and gives her a priceless--and supposedly cursed--copy of Goethe's
Faust for safe-keeping.
Brooklyn suddenly finds herself accused of murder and theft, thanks to
Derek Stone, the humorless--and annoyingly attractive--British security
officer who found her kneeling over the body. Now she has to read the
clues left behind by her mentor if she is going to restore justice...
