This is the sequel to BOOKED TO DIE, and is also a New York Times Notable book of the Year for '95. Dunning's mystery has more twists and turns than a bowl of spaghetti, and keeps you guessing all the way. A fun read!

From back cover: Now cop-turned-book-dealer Cliff Janeway is back, lured by an enterprising ex-cop into going to Seattle to bring back a fugitive wanted for assault, burglary, and the possible theft of a priveless edition of Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven.'
The bail jumper turns out to be a young, vulnerable woman who calles herself Eleanor Rigby, and who happens to be a gifted book scout. Janeway finds Eleanor enchanting--and is equally intrigued by the deadly history surrounding the rare volume. Stalked by people willing to kill to get their hands on it, a terrified Eleanor slips from Janeway's grasp and disappears. To find her, Janeway must unravel the secrets surrounding the book and its mysterious maker, for only this knowledge can stop the cruel hand of death from turning another page...
