The New York Times bestselling author of The Silence of the Library returns with a tale of books worth killing for... ย DEAR DIARIES ย 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 legacyโsomething that could benefit her son, Beck, as he prepares to campaign for the state senate. ย Beckโs biggest rival would like to get a look at the diaries in an attempt to expose the Long familyโs 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.
