London-born David Sechler lives a quiet, happy life in the US, traveling the country, plying his trade as a book conservator. His skills are much in demand, and his schedule proceeds in a pleasant, orderly way.
Until his Siamese cat, Sophie, leads him to a dead body.
It soon transpires that the deceased man was murdered—and that the crime could very well be related to a centuries-old book that David is currently restoring—a book that allegedly contains a clue to a hidden horde of gold.
Can David solve the ancient book’s puzzle in time?
Or will the dead man’s killer get to him first? (A Cozy Mystery Short Story.)
Genre: Cozy Mystery
