A Bibliophile Mystery
BY KATE CARLISLE
NOW IN PAPERBACK!
NOW IN PAPERBACK!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
When book-restoration expert Brooklyn Wainwright
temporarily relocates to her parents’ place in
Northern California, she finds that wooden barrels
aren’t the only things buried in the wine caves of
Sonoma….
Excited to explore the secrets of wine country, Brooklyn attends an excavation of the caves hidden deep under her parents’ commune—and the findings are explosive. A room is unearthed, and it contains a treasure trove of artwork, rare books, a chest of jewelry…and a perfectly mummified body.
A closer examination of the murdered man’s possessions reveals a valuable first edition of Jules Verne’s A Journey to the Center of the Earth. Hidden in the book is a secret map that unveils an even greater hoard of treasures brought to California by French winemakers fleeing the Nazi invasion with the commune leader’s grandfather, Anton, among them.
As reporters and art appraisers flock to Sonoma to see the precious bounty, questions begin to rise—did Anton hide these items to protect them, or did he steal them for himself? Who is the mysterious man left for dead inside the cave? But not all crime is buried in the past. When a new presence threatens the town’s peace, Brooklyn decides to do a little excavating of her own and solve the mystery of the treasure before anyone else is written off.…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Golden Heart and Daphne du Maurier Award winning author Kate
Carlisle spent over twenty years working in television
production as an Associate Director for game and variety
shows, including The Midnight Special, Solid
Gold and The Gong Show. She traveled the world as
a Dating Game chaperone and performed strange acts of
silliness on The Gong Show. She also studied acting
and singing, toiled in vineyards, collected books, joined a
commune, sold fried chicken, modeled spring fashions and
worked for a cruise ship line, but it was the year she spent
in law school that finally drove her to begin writing
fiction. It seemed the safest way to kill off her
professors. Those professors are breathing easier now that
Kate spends most of her time writing near the beach in
Southern California where she lives with her perfect husband.
A lifelong love of old books and an appreciation of the art of bookbinding led Kate to create the Bibliophile Mysteries, featuring rare book expert Brooklyn Wainwright, whose bookbinding and restoration skills invariably uncover old secrets, treachery and murder. Kate is a member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, International Thriller Writers and Romance Writers of America®. She loves to drink good wine and watch other people cook.

The mystery of the artifacts hidden beneath the wine cave sounds fascinating. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the idea that the main character is a book restoration expert. I took some of my great grandfather's etching to a book restoration expert at the Lilly Library at I.U. for restoration and advice. Would love to learn more tips along with the mystery.

I have questions that can only be answered in the book. If it's her parents' property, who is doing the excavating and why? And, how did the information get out to the news/public/art appraisers? Of course, who is the mummified body? Who owns all of the art treasures since they were on her parents' property? All valid questions. I guess you will just have to choose me so I can get the answers.
