Description
Sixty-year-old Jane Hunter, forced into early retirement from her job as a university librarian, is seeking a new challenge to keep her spirits up and supplement her meager pension. But as she''s about to discover, a retiree''s life can bring new thrills - and new dangers. Cameron ''Cam'' Clewe, an eccentric 33-year-old collector, is also seeking something - an archivist to inventory his ever-expanding compendium of rare books and artifacts. Jane''s thrilled to be hired on by Cam and to uncover the secrets of his latest acquisition, a trove of items related to the classic mystery and detective authors. But Jane''s delight is upended when a body is discovered in Cam''s library. The victim, heir to a pharmaceutical fortune, was the last in line of Cam''s failed romances - and now he''s suspect number one. Cam vows to use his intelligence and deductive skills to clear his name - but with a slight case of agoraphobia, rampant anxiety, and limited social skills, he''ll need some help. It comes down to Jane to exonerate her new boss - but is he truly innocent?
