The Withdrawn Lot (The Blackthorn Books Mysteries)

By Lisa Talcott

A withdrawn auction lot. A murdered bookbinder. A secret someone paid to keep buried.When retired bookbinder Arthur Pembroke brings Clara Whitmore an old auction catalogue marked with a troubling note, she sees more than a misdescribed volume. She sees a paper trail.Then Arthur is found dead in his workshop, surrounded by repair tickets, binding tools, and evidence someone tried to remove.As Clara follows the trail from a withdrawn lot to a hidden household ledger, she uncovers a respectable charity, a polished family legacy, and a transaction that was never meant to appear in the record.In Bellthorpe, old books keep old secrets.But this one may have cost a man his life.
