The New York Times bestselling author of The
Silence of the Library returns with a tale of books
worth killing for... DEAR
DIARIES Lucinda Beckwith Long, the
mayor of Athena, Mississippi, has donated a set of Civil
War-era diaries to the archives of Athena College. She would
like librarian Charlie Harris to preserve and substantiate
them as a part of the Long family legacy—something that
could benefit her son, Beck, as he prepares to campaign for
the state senate.
Beck’s biggest rival would
like to get a look at the diaries in an attempt to expose
the Long family’s past sins. Meanwhile, a history professor
is also determined to get her hands on the books in a
last-ditch bid for tenure. But their interest suddenly turns
deadly, leaving Charlie with a catalog of questions to
answer. Together with his Maine Coon cat Diesel, Charlie
must discover why the diaries were worth killing for before
he too reaches his final chapter.
