Description
Have you ever wanted something so badly you would kill for it?
Identified only by the hastily—and clumsily—chosen alias Charles Brockden, the narrator of this story finds a bookstore that instantly piques his desire. He must call it his own; he must add it to his already-extensive collection of bookstores. But surely the owner of such a fine shop wouldn’t easily part with it. Brockden forms a plan to acquire the store in such a way that no one would ever suspect foul play: untraceable murder. And he knows he will be successful—because he has done it before.

Lucy C, Reviewer
I really enjoyed this short mystery story - and it proved a great introduction to Joyce Carol Oates. I particularly loved the old-fashioned style of writing and could easily have believed the story set in the last century if it wasn't for the references to the modern day. I would be more than happy to review in full on my blog and elsewhere but have been unable to find the book listed on Amazon etc.
