ABOUT THE BOOK

A Deadly Game of Justice Versus Mercy

Charles Beale lives outside the shadow of Washington, D.C. Politics and power matter only when a client crosses the Potomac to visit his Alexandria Rare Books shop.

But that all changes when a former client—a man deeply connected in the Justice Department—is found murdered after a break-in gone bad. When Charles reclaims at auction the books he'd once sold, he quickly discovers he's bought more trouble than he could have ever imagined.

Inside one volume are secrets. A collection of sins that, if revealed, could destroy reputations, careers—even lives. Charles soon learns he isn't the only one who knows. Going to the police means ruining a multitude of lives. But staying silent puts a target on his shop, his wife—and himself. Charles must decide: Should one mistake really cost you everything?

Margie's comments: Between the Colorado Christian Writers Conference next week, and all my responsibilities related to that, and my regular work, I didn't start this book until the wee hours of this morning. I'm looking forward to learning about the rare book market (something that has always intrigued me) and to watching Charles work through the problems he's faced with as a result of his work. So far the story is low-key suspense, something I'd rather read in the middle of the night than a high-key suspense that gets my heart racing and I lose all hope of sleep. *smile* I'll come back with a full review later. (I did finish a couple of books this week. I will post those reviews next week.)
