Rate this book
Una rilegatrice di libri antichi, una direttrice prepotente e uno spasimante. Sembra che ci sia qualcuno di troppo...

Quando si tratta di libri rari e antichità, Brooklyn Wainwright è una specialista. Per questo motivo è tornata a casa, a San Francisco, per tenere un corso di rilegatura al Bay Area Book Arts Center. Sfortunatamente, la direttrice del BABA, Layla Fontaine, è una pessima padrona di casa, che si infuria per ogni minima cosa e tratta i suoi subordinati come degli schiavi. Ma grazie all’aiuto dell’affascinante agente di sicurezza britannico Derek Stone, Brooklyn riesce a fare buon viso a cattivo gioco e a resistere alle sue angherie.

Purtroppo, non tutti sono così indulgenti. Layla, infatti, viene ritrovata senza vita per una ferita causata da un colpo d’arma da fuoco. Decisa a indagare, Brooklyn scopre che il passato della direttrice si intreccia a quello di Derek, rendendo il caso molto più personale di quanto pensasse, e che l’assassino è determinato a toglierla di mezzo una volta per tutte.

About the author

Kate Carlisle

97 books2,827 followers
Golden Heart and Daphne du Maurier Award winning author Kate Carlisle spent over twenty years working in television production as an Associate Director for game and variety shows, including The Midnight Special, Solid Gold and The Gong Show. She traveled the world as a Dating Game chaperone and performed strange acts of silliness on The Gong Show. She also studied acting and singing, toiled in vineyards, collected books, joined a commune, sold fried chicken, modeled spring fashions and worked for a cruise ship line, but it was the year she spent in law school that finally drove her to begin writing fiction. It seemed the safest way to kill off her professors. Those professors are breathing easier now that Kate spends most of her time writing near the beach in Southern California where she lives with her perfect husband.

A lifelong love of old books and an appreciation of the art of bookbinding led Kate to create the Bibliophile Mysteries, featuring rare book expert Brooklyn Wainwright, whose bookbinding and restoration skills invariably uncover old secrets, treachery and murder. Kate is a member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, International Thriller Writers and Romance Writers of America. She loves to drink good wine and watch other people cook.

Despite the appearance of overnight success, Kate's dream of publication took many, many years to fulfill.
