Description
Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in the black market of stolen books and manuscripts. Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer's block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company. A generous offer of money convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Bruce Cable's circle of literary friends, ideally getting close enough to him to learn his secrets. But eventually Mercer learns far too much.
Description
"Świat książek może być o wiele bardziej mroczny i niebezpieczny, niż ci się wydaje...Białe kruki, niepozorni antykwariusze i niebanalna historia kryminalna! Księgarnia, szelest przewracanych kartek, usypiająca atmosfera... Nudno, prawda? A co, jeżeli ten spokojny, pokryty kurzem świat ma drugie oblicze? Pełne złodziei, handlarzy trefnymi białymi krukami, romansów, zdrad i spisków..? Zaczyna się od skoku. Udanego - przestępcy kradną z biblioteki Uniwersytetu Princeton manuskrypty. Dziwna kradzież? Niekoniecznie. To skarb - zostały ubezpieczone na 25 milionów dolarów...Czy cokolwiek może łączyć ten brawurowy skok z niepozornym Bruce'em Cable'em, który prowadzi księgarnię w sennym miasteczku Santa Rosa na wyspie Camino? Niewielu ludzi wie, że Bruce prawdziwe pieniądze zarabia na handlu białymi krukami. Być może dowie się tego Mercer Mann, młoda pisarka z problemami finansowymi, która zostaje wynajęta przez tajemniczą kobietę zlecającą jej poznanie sekretów księgarza..." --,From bookseller's website.
