A real cozy and a great read. "Bookshop owner Penelope Thonrton-McClure has just received an extremely rare collecion of Edgar Allan Poe's complete works. Rumor has it a secret code, trapped within the books' leather bound pages, leads to buried treasure. Well, it looks like they got the buried part right, beacuse as Penn sells off the valuable volumes, everyone who buys ... dies. Once these books go missing from their owners' cold hands, Pen will need resident ghost and hard boiled PI Jack Shepard to help crack the case. The police are skeptical that the deaths involved foul play, so it's up to Pen and Jack to unravel these shocking endings."
