A Case of Books

Bruce Graeme, John Norris

From Shelf: Bruce Graeme - Theodore Terhune Bibliomystery Series

When rare book collector Arthur Harrison is found stabbed, bookseller and amateur sleuth Theodore Terhune is hired to sell to sell the deceased man's library. It becomes apparent the murderer is still hunting for something and Terhune must figure out which book and why before he becomes the next victim.

In the beginning was the Word-

When Theodore Terhune's wealthy client Arthur Harrison is found stabbed and his library ransacked, the police suspect the murderer was looking for a book. Harrison collected rare early printed books called incunabula, but as the provenance of such titles is well documented in the book world it would make little sense to steal one. Terhune is hired by the estate to sell off Harrison's library, but another armed break-in and a very strange book auction suggest the killer is still searching for something. Soon Terhune himself becomes a target, but what exactly does the murderer want? And why are crosses appearing in the turf of local fields?

The sixth book in the entertaining series involving bookseller and amateur sleuth Theodore Terhune.
