A homeless man. His murdered mother. A book could be the clue. Isabel Long's next case begins during a chance encounter with a homeless man, who says he was 12 when he found his mother murdered in their home. Abby McKenzie was a well-liked seller of vintage books who owned a store in the hilltown of Dillard. That was 43 years ago and the case was never solved. One obstacle is that several of the suspects are dead, including an avid book collector, a former town official who stalked her, and the man who last saw her alive. Another is that, once again, Isabel must deal with Dillard's police chief, who ran interference in her other cases. But that doesn't deter Isabel nor her mother Maria, her partner in solving crime. She just needs to find the source who will unlock this case
