Notes
Booked to Die by John Dunning introduces Denver homicide detective Cliff Janeway, a man whose passion for rare books rivals his commitment to justice. After the murder of local book scout Bobby Westfall, Janeway suspects the involvement of Jackie Newton, a notorious criminal adept at evading the law. When Janeway's attempt at off-duty retribution costs him his badge, he channels his energy into opening a rare bookstore, Twice Told Books, while continuing to investigate Westfall's death. As valuable books from a coveted collection surface, so do more bodies, leading Janeway into a perilous journey where the lines between his past and present blur. Dunning's novel offers a compelling blend of bibliophilic intrigue and gritty detective work, earning acclaim for its authentic portrayal of the antiquarian book world and its richly drawn characters.
