Rare books librarian Juniper Blume treats every researcher's question like a mini-mystery to solve.
However, no inquiry compares to her ex-brother-in-law Rory begging for her help in finding the Book of Kells' long-lost covers. He claims they are in a southern Maryland cemetery. Juniper is not sure how the bejeweled covers of a ninth-century European masterwork could have ended up there, but she's curious enough to find out.
Juniper hops in her vintage Karmann Ghia convertible with her dog Clover and heads to the former resort town of Rose Mallow, on the western coast of the Chesapeake Bay. When Juniper goes to meet Rory, he's nowhere to be found—but a body is.
Can she find out the truth about the priceless book and save Rory before the murderer kills again?
