If Books Could Kill — Kate Carlisle

A haunted city, a forbidden masterpiece, and a deadly threat are all in a day's work in the life of this brilliant bookbinder....

Book restoration expert Brooklyn Wainwright is happy to be attending the world-renowned Edinburgh Book Fair. But then her ex, Kyle McVee, shows up with a bombshell. He has an original copy of a scandalous text that could change history -- and humiliate the beloved British monarchy.

Trying to get Kyle's story out of her mind, Brooklyn takes a nighttime tour of the city. Unfortunately, the first landmark contains a real dead body: Kyle's. The police are convinced Brooklyn is the culprit, but with an entire convention of suspects, Brooklyn conducts her own investigation. Before she can crack the case, she'll have to find out whether the motive for murder is a two-hundred-year-old secret...or something much more personal.
