Description
San Francisco's Brooklyn Wainwright is thrilled to be part of the Covington Library's Mark Twain Festival. As a book-restoration expert, she'll rebind a rare first edition of The Prince and the Pauper in front of an audience of enthusiastic book lovers. However, her passion for books is put to the test when murder becomes the main event. The festival is the brainchild of wealthy media mogul Joseph Cabot, who's determined to celebrate his love of literature. But with a citywide contest based on The Prince and the Pauper, Brooklyn worries that danger may lurk beneath the surface. When someone is mysteriously poisoned right before her eyes, she must join forces with her husband Derek - a former security expert - to unravel the mystery and prevent another murder. As they frantically chase clues through San Francisco's streets, Brooklyn and Derek must navigate a complex web of suspects and motives. With the festival in full swing, can they uncover the truth behind the poisonings before it's too late?
