A great Grisham read! Not the typical lawyer novel, but instead stolen manuscripts and their travels through the criminal network. An out of luck writer working on a second novel is retained by the insurance company to spy on a small town independent book store owner to gain access to information. The world of authors and bookstores is skillfully woven into this novel and the characters are all likeable and well written. The story itself is just suspenseful enough and I liked the ending where everything ends up just happily enough without being too trite.
