From the New York Times bestselling author of
Ripped from the Pages, San Francisco book-restoration
expert Brooklyn Wainwright’s latest project is for the
birds, but it may have her running for her life. . . . Brooklyn’s friend Ian runs the Covington Library, which is
hosting an exhibit featuring John James Audubon’s massive
masterpiece, Birds of America, currently on loan from
an Arab sheik. During the gala celebrating the book, she is
approached by Jared Mulrooney, the president of the National
Birdwatchers Society, who urgently needs Brooklyn's skilled
hands to repair a less high-profile book of Audubon drawings
that’s fallen victim to spilled wine. At the same party, Brooklyn is flying high after she’s asked
to refurbish and appraise a rare copy of Poor Richard’s
Almanac. But everything runs afoul later that evening
when Mulrooney’s body is discovered in the library. Rumors
fly about a motive for murder. Perhaps Mulrooney wanted to
sink his claws into the pricey Audubon book, but Brooklyn
believes the man died fighting off a daring thief. Soon more troubles ruffle Brooklyn’s feathers. Her parents
pop in for a visit with an unsavory friend in tow, and
there’s a strange man on her tail. With danger beginning to
circle Brooklyn’s every move, it’s clear she must find
answers before things really go south . . .
