SYNOPSIS: “London, 1946. Much of the capital, and indeed the country, remains beset by rationing and bomb damage. But for some there are other, more immediate concerns: crimes of a serious and sometimes deadly nature.
Inspector Bliss of Bow Street occasionally enlists the services of Gabriel Book, proprietor of Book’s Books: antiquarian and amateur sleuth, whose appetite for mystery is rivalled only by his enthusiasm for rare second-hand volumes.
Working alongside Book are his wife Trottie; true crime fanatic Nora; and Jack, who’s surprised to have found a home at Book’s.
Together they sell books and solve crimes. But Book has his own personal mystery to solve – one that’s haunted him for over a decade – and with each passing day, he draws closer to the truth.”
