MURDER BY THE BOOK
Meeting an elderly spinster in a cozy Yorkshire pub seemed a harmless bit of serendipity for vacationing Scotland Yard Superintendent Perry Trethowan. But what Miss Edith Wing carried about in her large blue leather handbag turned out to be nearly dangerous enough to get them both killed. For the fragile yellowing papers that Miss Wing showed Perry were either a clever forgery or an unpublished Bronte. To a scholar, an authentic manuscript would be a priceless discovery. To a policeman like Perry, it was an interesting opportunity for some literary detection. But for a vicious criminal, it had already become a powerful motive for theft, torture... and even murder.
