But readers should be warned that the most riveting tales often conceal the deadliest of secrets ... "If much of the action is set in a bookshop or a library, it is a bibliomystery, just as it is if a major character is a bookseller or a librarian." -Otto Penzler A bookish puzzle threatens an eagerly awaited inheritance; a submission to a publisher recounts a murder that seems increasingly to be a work of nonfiction; an irate novelist puts a grisly end to the source of his writer's block. There is no better hiding place for clues-or red herrings-than inside the pages of a book. But in this world of resentful ghost writers, indiscreet playwrights, and unscrupulous book collectors, literary prowess is often a prologue to disaster"--|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Murder|vFiction. 655 7 short stories.|2aat|0(CStmoGRI)aatgf300202607 655 7 Detective and mystery fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726581 655 7 Short stories.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 Detective and mystery fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Short stories.|2lcgft 700 1 Edwards, Martin,|d1955-|eeditor. 700 1 |iContainer of (work) :|aCole, G.
