A series of mysterious deaths in the Papyrus Bookstore brings literature-loving police inspector Dejan Luki to investigate. Here he meets the attractive owner, Vera Gavrilovi, and learns that the only thing the victims have in common is that in the moments before their deaths they were reading an elusive and unidentified volume - The Last Book.
As the plot thickens and the seemingly causeless deaths multiply, the National Security Agency, a secret apocalyptic sect and an exotic teashop become involved, while Dejan and Vera's growing attachment is threatened by nightmares and ever-encroaching danger. Is a literary madman on the loose, murdering readers according to the method laid down in The Name of the Rose?
In a final race against time, Inspector Luki must discover the secret of The Last Book and the reason why he feels as though he has already read everything that is happening to him in a novel. The extraordinary denouement reveals hidden truths about the clash of realities and the awesome power of the creative imagination.
