Mystery
Specially commissioned by the Mysterious Bookshop, the
“biblio-mysteries" in this unique collection feature
original stories by the genre’s most distinguished
authors: Ken Bruen, Loren D. Estleman, Nelson DeMille,
Anne Perry, Jeffery Deaver, C. J. Box, Thomas H. Cook,
and Laura Lippman. If you open your dictionary, you will discover that there
is no such word as “bibliomystery.” However, most mystery
readers know that the word refers to a mystery story that
involves the world of books: a bookshop, a rare volume, a
library, a collector, or a bookseller. The stories in this unique collection were commissioned
by the Mysterious Bookshop. They were written by some of
the mystery genre’s most distinguished authors. Tough
guys like Ken Bruen, Reed Farrel Coleman, Loren D.
Estleman, and Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins.
Bestsellers like Nelson DeMille, Anne Perry, and Jeffery
Deaver. Edgar winners such as C. J. Box, Thomas H. Cook,
and Laura Lippman. Here you will discover Sigmund Freud dealing with an
unwelcome visitor; Columbo confronting a murderous
bookseller; a Mexican cartel kingpin with a fatal
weakness for rare books; and deadly secrets deep in the
London Library; plus books with hidden messages,
beguiling booksellers, crafty collectors, and a magical
library that is guaranteed to enchant you. The stories
have been published in seven languages―one has sold more
than 250,000 copies as an e-book (“The Book Case” by
Nelson DeMille)―and another won the Edgar Allan Poe Award
as the Best Short Story of the Year (“The Caxton Lending
Library and Book Depository” by John Connolly). Who knew literature could be so lethal!
