What you need to know before your trail

The rare book world is stunned when a reclusive collector, Adam Diehl, is found on the floor of his Montauk home: hands severed, surrounded by valuable inscribed books and original manuscripts that have been vandalised beyond repair. Adam’s sister, Meghan, and her lover, Will – a convicted if unrepentant literary forger – struggle to come to terms with the seemingly incomprehensible murder.

But when Will begins receiving threatening handwritten letters, seemingly penned by long-dead authors, but really from someone who knows secrets about Adam’s death and Will’s past, he understands his own life is also on the line – and attempts to forge a new beginning for himself and Meg.

“Books make us feel alive, and though we obviously won’t live forever, they make us feel as if we might.”

“History is subjective. History is alterable. History is, finally, little more than modelling clay in a very warm room.”

“If, as Emerson wrote, every word was once an idea, every cliché was once a revelation.”
