A rare book. A forged signature. A body on the bookshop floor.

When Harrington Harbor hosts its annual literary festival, bookshop owner Tessa Langley braces for chaos—but not the kind that comes with a corpse. Moments after a rare, signed edition of The Crimson Quays is unveiled, the event’s high-profile appraiser is found dead in the middle of Ink & Antiquities.

Now, with whispers of forgery, fraud, and literary blackmail swirling through the stacks, Tessa and her trusty spaniel Marlow must trace the origin of the book—and the motives behind it—before the killer edits the next chapter of her life.

As secrets surface and reputations teeter, one thing becomes clear: in a town built on stories, some will kill to control the ending.

Bookish betrayal cuts deeper than a knife—and the truth is written in blood.

Read on for: a scandalous signed edition, a literary festival with more secrets than scones, and a death that turns the page on everything Tessa thought she knew. If you love rare books, rivalries, and mysteries where every clue is written between the lines, this story is for you. Harrington Harbor isn’t just full of readers—it’s full of suspects.
