Description
The Scroll is part of the new MysteriousPress.com Bibliomystery series, an ongoing series of books about books, written by famous mystery and thriller authors.
Bibliomysteries are the bibliophile's true companion. The stories revolve around rare or important books, manuscripts and documents, and the protagonist is often a bookseller, book collector, librarian or author.
After the initial release of four original bibliomysteries written by Ken Bruen, Anne Perry, C.J. Box, and Jeffery Deaver, the series will be ongoing, with one bibliomystery released each month.
About The Scroll
An ancient scroll draws a bookseller into a chilling mystery
Monty Danforth finds the tin buried beneath a shipment of leather-bound classics. Inside is a millennia-old vellum manuscript written in an unfamiliar but unmistakably ancient language. Danforth tries to photocopy and photograph it, but he ends up with blank images, as though the ink were made of something impervious to modern technology. As the scroll’s mystery enchants him, this hapless bookseller falls into a cutthroat conspiracy that he may never escape.
Soon a dead-eyed old man and his granddaughter come calling for the scroll. Danforth refuses to sell them the manuscript, but they will not be the last to demand it. Powerful forces crave the secrets locked within this ancient document, and Danforth will survive only if he can master its power.
