Bookseller Delaney Nichols befriends a Loch Ness monster
enthusiast; when he stands accused of murder she'll do
whatever it takes to learn who the killer is—and whether
Nessie herself is really lurking in the Scottish waters.
Delaney Nichols is delighted with her life in Edinburgh,
working at The Cracked Spine—a shop that specializes in
hard-to-find books and artifacts. With a job she loves, and
her fast approaching marriage to devastatingly handsome
Scottish pub-owner Tom Shannon, Delaney's life could be
straight out of a fairy tale—at least it would be, if the
pastor meant to perform the wedding ceremony hadn't recently
passed away. Outside the church where Delaney is searching
for another reverend, she stumbles across Norval Fraser: an
elderly man obsessed with the Loch Ness monster. Always
attracted to the interesting and unusual, Delaney befriends
Norval. But when his nephew is found dead, the police decide
Norval's obsession has moved from monsters to murder.
With a wedding to plan, her family arriving soon from
Kansas, and the arrival of an over-the-top Texan with a
wildly valuable book, Delaney's plate is full to bursting,
but she can't abandon her new friend. Determined to help
Norval, she sets out to learn the truth. The Loch Ness
buries its secrets deeply, but Delaney is determined to dig
them up—whether Nessie likes it or not.
