Book Overview

by J. T. Barker (Author)

A rare and second-hand bookseller is given an unpublished nineteenth century manuscript to safekeep for a collector friend who bought it at auction for a nominal sum, unaware until later that it was penned by the most famous English novelist of all time. It becomes the catalyst for a chain of dramatic events as an unscrupulous rival collector seeks to gain possession of the document, by any means.

Set in 1976, and centred around a second-hand book business in a seaside town on the south coast of England, the book chronicles how a story written in the 1860s on the Irish famine develops into a source of murderous intent as a sinister figure emerges from the shadows of the Second World War to stake his claim to it.

J. T. Barker is the pseudonym of a former second-hand bookseller who previously wrote Truelove's Journal: A Bookshop Novella under another nom de plume.
