Overview
Una banda de ladrones consigue robar algo que, pese a no tener precio, está asegurado en veinticinco millones de dólares: los cinco manuscritos originales de las novelas de Francis Scott Fitzgerald, que hasta hacía poco yacían en una cámara acorazada bajo la biblioteca de la Universidad de Princeton. Un botín imposible de resistir.
Bruce Cable regenta una prestigiosa librería en la ciudad de verano de Santa Rosa, en Camino Island. No obstante, muy pocos saben que su auténtico negocio a menudo lo lleva a adentrarse en el peligroso, pero tremendamente lucrativo, mercado negro de los libros y manuscritos robados.
Mercer Mann, una joven y endeudada escritora que solía pasar sus veranos en la idílica playa de Camino Island, recibe una propuesta que no puede rechazar. Volverá a la paz de la isla para escribir su novela y, entretanto, se acercará al círculo de escritores de cierto librero de dudosa reputación... y a su interesante colección de manuscritos. Sin embargo, Mercer se pondrá en peligro al descubrir más de lo necesario.
John Grisham sabe, como nadie, crear problemas en el paraíso.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A delightfully lighthearted caper . . . [a] fast-moving, entertaining tale.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A gang of thieves stage a daring heist from a vault deep below Princeton University’s Firestone Library. Their loot is priceless, impossible to resist.
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 unsavory ventures.
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 monetary offer convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Cable’s circle of literary friends, to get close to the ringleader, to discover his secrets.
But soon Mercer learns far too much, and there’s trouble in paradise—as only John Grisham can deliver it.
