What this book is about
Bookseller Monty Danforth discovers a tin buried beneath a shipment of books, containing an ancient scroll that seems to be nothing more than a curiosity. But as he begins to investigate its origins, he finds himself pursued by dangerous people determined to recover it at any cost. A departure from Perry's Victorian series, this compact thriller uses literary history and the power of hidden knowledge as its engine.
