Description
Book lover Harley Henrickson follows a trail of murders linked to a rare first-edition printing of Jane Eyre.
It’s almost summer in Notchey Creek, Tennessee, and Harley Henrickson is attending the Antiques and Blooms Festival. Antiques line the streets, flowers fill hanging baskets, and festivalgoers stand in line, waiting to appraise their treasures. Order turns to frenzied excitement when the town’s controversial new resident, Suzanne Clare, presents a rare first-edition printing of Jane Eyre. The book is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, a prize for which many would kill.
On the following morning, Suzanne Clare is found dead in her mansion, and the book is missing. To Sheriff Jed Turner, the woman’s murder appears to be a clear-cut case of burglary-homicide, but Harley is not so sure. Suzanne Clare had many skeletons in her closet, and many enemies among her neighbors. When Harley's friend rockstar Beau Arson is suspected in the woman's murder, she will stop at nothing to prove his innocence.
As bodies begin to accumulate and jealousy, passion, and revenge rear their evil heads, Harley discovers that Charlotte Brontë’s rare first edition is indeed a book of murder.
