Cliff Janeway is back, lured by an enterprising ex-cop, into going to Seattle to bring back a fugitive wanted for assault, burglary and the possible theft of a priceless edition of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven". The bail jumper turns out to be a young, vulnerable woman who calls herself Eleanor Rigby, and who happens to be a gifted book scout. Janeway finds Eleanor enchanting - and is equally intrigued by the deadly history surrounding the rare volume. Stalked by people willing to kill to get their hands on it, a terrified Eleanor slips from Janeway's grasp and disappears. To find her, Janeway must unravel the secrets surrounding the book and it's mysterious maker. For only this knowledge can stop the cruel hand of death from turning another page.

It's been some time since I read the first book in this series but this second novel didn't disappoint. Janeway gets involved in quite a complicated mystery and any other comments I might make would probably be spoilers so I'll leave it at that.

Mailed to another bookcrosser as a Rabck.

Thank you so much for sending this wishlist book, adding to MT TBR, looking forward to reading it.

Another mystery solved.....loved this book. I had a hard time putting this down - nearly read the entire book in one weekend. I agree with Tanamo any details might just give it away.

I will say the author is known as an expert on rare and collectible books, he owned the Old Algonquin Bookstore in Denver for many years before opening an appointment only first-edition business so he knows what he writes. When you're reading his books you're getting a real look at the world of rare book collecting.

This one needs a new home.......thanks again for sending.
