Summary: "San Francisco book-restoration expert Brooklyn Wainwright is on the case when a rare edition of Rebecca leads to murder in this latest installment in the New York Times bestselling Bibliophile Mystery series. Brooklyn and her hunky husband, security expert Derek Stone, have just returned from a delightful trip to Dharma, where the construction of their new home away from home is well underway, when a little black book arrives in the mail.

Brooklyn met Claire when the two women worked as expert appraisers on the television show This Old Attic.

Among her aunt's belongings, Claire found the receipt for the package that wound up with Brooklyn and Derek. Claire believes both her own life and her aunt's are in danger.

With a death on their doorstep, Brooklyn and Derek must page through the clues to keep her friend's past from destroying their future..."--
