The most daring and devastating heist in literary history targets a high security vault located deep beneath Princeton University.
Valued at $25 million (though some would say priceless) the
five manuscripts of F Scott Fitzgerald's only novels are amongst the most
valuable in the world. After an initial flurry of arrests, both they and the
ruthless gang of thieves who took them have vanished without trace.
Dealing in stolen books is a dark business, and few are
initiated to its arts - which puts Bruce Cable right on the FBI's Rare Asset
Recovery Unit's watch list.
A struggling writer burdened by debts, Mercer Mann spent
summers on Florida's idyllic Camino Island as a kid, in her grandmother's beach
cottage. Now she is being made an offer she can't refuse: to return to the
peace of the island, to write her novel - and get close to a certain infamous
bookseller, and his interesting collection of manuscripts . . .
I couldn't put it down. Everyone working in the book industry MUST read this one.
