Storyton Hall, Virginia, is a paradise for book lovers who come from
all over for literary getaways. But manager Jane Steward is temporarily
leaving for another renowned resort--in hopes of solving a twist-filled
mystery . . .
Jane's boyfriend is missing, and she thinks she may find him at North
Carolina's historic Biltmore Estate. Officially, she's there to learn
about luxury hotel management, but she's also prowling around the
breathtaking buildings and grounds looking for secret passageways and
clues. One of the staff gardeners promises to be helpful . . . that is,
until his body turns up in the reading room of his cottage, a book on
his lap.
When she finally locates the kidnapped Edwin, his captor insists that
she lead him back to Storyton Hall, convinced that it houses Ernest
Hemingway's lost suitcase, stolen from a Paris train station in 1922.
But before they can turn up the treasure, the bell may toll for another
victim . . .
