The Bookman's Promise

Buy The Bookman's Promise

This bestselling mystery is the third to feature Denver ex-cop and current antiquarian book dealer/part-time sleuth Cliff Janeway. Janeway has pulled off a real coup, purchasing at auction a magnificent first edition of a book by the explorer Sir Richard Burton. A radio broadcast about the book brings a nearly penniless elderly woman, Josephine Gallant, to Janeway's bookstore. Mrs. Gallant claims that the book previously belonged to her grandfather, Charles Warren, and that it was once part of an extensive collection of Burton works. Warren had promised the library to her, but when he died in 1906, her alcoholic father sold the books for a pittance to an unsavory family of bookdealers. Janeway promises Mrs. Gallant that he will attempt to trace the whereabouts of the library. As Janeway follows what he at first believes will be a very cold trail, he quickly discovers that there are still people who are prepared to kill rather than allow those books to be found.
