Brooklyn Wainwright is a skilled surgeon. Sure, her patients might smell like mold and have spines made of leather, but no ailing book is going to die on her watch. The same can't be said of Abraham Karastovsky, Brooklyn's friend and former employer.

On the eve of a celebration for his latest book restoration, Brooklyn finds her mentor lying in a pool of his own blood. With his final breath Abraham leaves Brooklyn with a cryptic message, "Remember the Devil," and gives her a priceless—and supposedly cursed—copy of Goethe's Faust for safe-keeping.

Brooklyn suddenly finds herself accused of murder and theft, thanks to Derek Stone, the humorless—and annoyingly attractive—British security agent who found her kneeling over the body. Now she has to read the clues left behind by her mentor if she is going to restore justice and save her own life...

Quite nice cozy mystery, much better than some that I've read. Books and the world of books is always interesting, and the hippie-childhood of Brooklyn's in background gives nice addition to the story.

Sending to Annelis next :)

Oh, a detective story for bibliophiles and about bibliophiles! This is a new series of cozy mysteries for me. That's really something!
Thank you very much for the book, Chania! You are always so kind.
Have a nice spring time!
