Little-known and even lesser-read author, Jane Hepburn, is still recovering from solving the vicious murder at the Killer Lines crime-writing festival when she is dragged into another very bookish murder.

Arriving in London for her friend Natasha's book launch, she thinks the only thing that could go wrong this time is getting lost on the Tube. But when Jane unexpectedly finds a body in the storage room of a famous Cecil Court bookshop, the celebrations immediately come to a halt. Worse, Jane is now a suspect and Natasha's career is in jeopardy.

From cosy bookshops and famous publishing houses to slightly more seedy locations, questions are being asked and dark secrets will be revealed. It's up to Jane and her friends to use their literary sleuthing skills to solve the mystery before the bodies pile up.

The killer has been plotting, and Jane's name could be next on their list . . .
