Murder hits the stacks when literary agent Allie Cobb investigates a fatality in the local library...

The list of suspects includes Allie’s boyfriend, Brent, who’s in the running to take over as town librarian. Avenging her friend’s murder could be a trap as she goes up against a killer determined to write Allie’s epitaph . . .
