About This Book
A novella that introduces book detective Benny Morgan from the acclaimed, multiple awardâwinning author of the Lake District Mystery series. Book collecting seems a rather harmless hobbyâunless it's someone like Felix de Lisle doing the collecting. He's rumored to have ties to the mob. What's been proven is that he has a penchant for the spy novels of Simon Verity. Some might call it an obsession... It's this passionâand a bag of cashâthat draws book scout Benny Morgan into his circle. De Lisle has gotten wind of a dust jacket that was commissioned for his favorite Verity title. It was never used and supposedly destroyed, but if there is a copy that exists, de Lisle must have it. As Benny searches for this elusive art in his world of collectors and dealers, he discovers the missing jacket and a dreadful secret that will put his honorâand quite possibly his lifeâon the line... Praise for the mysteries of Martin Edwards "Superbâa pitch-perfect blend of Golden Age charm and sinister modern suspense, with a main character to die for. This is the book Edwards was born to write." âLee Child, #1 New York Times âbestselling author on Gallows Court "[A] triumph... impressively channels Agatha Christie." â Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Mortmain Hall "A wonderful, absorbing read: a crime deeply rooted in the past, a beautifully evoked sense of the Lake District." â Peter Robinson, New York Times âbestselling author on The Coffin Trail "A poignant mystery: atmospheric, haunting, and so tactile you can almost smell the moist air." â Booklist on The Coffin Trail
