Denver homicide detective Cliff Janeway may not always play by the book, but he is an avid collector of them. When an unassuming bookscout is murdered on his turf, Janeway's wrathful brand of off-duty justice costs him his badge. He follows his life-long ambition to open a bookshop - specialising in rare and first edition books. But when highly sought after collections begin to appear, so do dead bodies. Janeway's life is about to start a precarious new chapter as he attempts to find out who's dealing death along with vintage Chandlers and Twains.
John Dunning is the author of four previous novels in the Cliff Janeway series: 'The Sign of the Book', 'The Bookman's Wake' - a New York Times Notable Book of 1995, 'The Bookman's Promise', and most recently 'The Bookman's Last Fling'. An expert on rare and collectible books, he owned the Old Alogonquin Bookstore in Denver for many years, and now does his bookselling online. John Dunning lives in Denver Colorado.
