Homicide in Hardcover by Kate Carlisle

Homicide in Hardcover by Kate Carlisle

Book expert Brooklyn Wainwright discovers that murder is always a bestseller in the first novel in the New York Times bestselling Bibliophile Mystery series.

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 officer 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.

Kate Carlisle, a native Californian who worked in television for many years before turning to writing, is an award-winning writer. Brooklyn Wainwright's bookbinding and restoration abilities usually expose old secrets, betrayal, and murder in the Bibliophile Mysteries, which she wrote after a lifelong passion with the art and craft of bookbinding. Kate is based in Southern California and works as a writer. Kate Carlisle's website is www.katecarlisle.com.
