About This Book

The narrative follows a young woman who, while alone in a university library, uncovers signs that rare volumes have been removed and traces a distinctive gargoyle bookplate to a shady dealer. Concerned that exposure could harm a vulnerable child and an elderly man, she enlists friends to pursue the mystery, examining clues such as a papier-mâché lunch box, a vanished folio, and a secret room. The investigation leads to night searches, clashes, sea-related adventures, thefts, and gradual unmasking of motives and hidden connections before the tangled secrets are brought to light.
