A Book Collector Mystery
BY VICTORIA ABBOTT
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Jordan Kelly is delighted to make money tracking down rare and valuable mystery novels for her employer, Vera Van Alst, an avid collector and the most difficult woman in Harrison Falls, New York. But now her boss’s complete set of Dorothy Sayers is missing, and finding them may lead Jordan to a murder suitable for Sayers’s esteemed sleuth, Lord Peter Wimsey...
Jordan Kelly is delighted to make money tracking down rare and valuable mystery novels for her employer, Vera Van Alst, an avid collector and the most difficult woman in Harrison Falls, New York. But now her boss’s complete set of Dorothy Sayers is missing, and finding them may lead Jordan to a murder suitable for Sayers’s esteemed sleuth, Lord Peter Wimsey...
When Jordan manages to locate her boss’s missing books, they are in the possession of Randolph Adams, an elderly man in a nearby town. Offering a valuable Hemingway first edition as an incentive, Jordan thinks she’s about to seal the deal—but some of Randolph’s relatives think he should hold out for more.
Then the entire family disappears—and a dead body shows up. It’s up to Jordan to collect the clues—and make sure a killer gets booked.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Victoria Abbott is a collaboration between the always very
funny and creative artist, photographer and short story
author, Victoria Maffini and her mother, Mary Jane Maffini,
award-winning author of three mystery series and two dozen
short stories. Their four miniature dachshunds are
understandably outraged that a pug and some Siamese cats
have wiggled their way into the series. To read more about this talented pair, visit their website "Bio" HERE.
