Husband-and-wife mystery novelists Rosemary
and Larry Mild have created a tightly woven, cleverly plotted and supremely
suspenseful tale in Death Steals A Holy Book. Resplendent
with action, intrigue, wit, and a to-die-for cast of characters, Death
Steals A Holy Book is bound to delight.
Reluctant sleuths Dan and Rivka Sherman yearn
for a tranquil life as the owners of The Olde Victorian Bookstore in Annapolis,
Maryland. But when the Shermans acquire a rare volume, they find themselves
embroiled in a firestorm of deceit, thievery, and violence.
Israel Finestein, renowned restorer of old
books in Baltimore, has just finished his work on the Menorat ha-maor, “The
Candlestick of Light.” His life is brutally snuffed out and the book
disappears. What makes this rare text so valuable that someone is compelled to
kill for it? Two Baltimore detectives find a puzzling number of suspects. Is it
the controversial woman whom Israel plans to marry? The rare book agent who
overextended himself in the stock market? Israel’s busybody cousins who resent
his changed lifestyle? Or the wayward lad who thinks a gun is the way to big
bucks?
This case could be one for the books…
Rosemary and Larry have published
award-winning novels, short stories, and essays. They coauthored the popular
Paco and Molly Mystery Series and Cry Ohana, a thriller set in Hawaii,
as well as stories in anthologies. Members of
Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and Hawaii Fiction Writers, they
