The author of the New York Times bestselling Cat in the Stacks
series is back with more Southern charm and beguiling mystery as Charlie
Harris and his cat Diesel must find a killer in a room full of
librarians...
Charlie is stressed out. The Southern Academic Libraries Association is
holding this year's annual meeting at Athena College. Since Charlie is
the interim library director, he must deliver the welcome speech to all
the visiting librarians. And as if that weren't bad enough, the keynote
address will be delivered by Charlie's old nemesis from library school.
It's been thirty years since Charlie has seen Gavin Fong, and he's still
an insufferable know-it-all capable of getting under everyone's skin. In
his keynote, Gavin puts forth a most unpopular opinion: that degreed
librarians will be obsolete in the academic libraries of the future. So
when Gavin drops dead, no one seems too upset...
But Charlie, who was seen having a heated argument with Gavin the day
before, has jumped to the top of the suspect list. Now Charlie and
Diesel must check out every clue to refine their search for the real
killer among them before the next book Charlie reads comes from a prison
library...
