Books
A few old books and manuscripts: how much trouble could they be?
For Jorinde's friend, Ivo: plenty! He's been charged with creating a new home for a nobleman's bequest and everything's going wrong.
The project's late and over budget. There's a religious fanatic calling down holy damnation. And when the half-finished building catches fire, maybe it is the judgement of the Gods.
But there's worse to come once the flames are doused: the body of the head librarian amongst the rubble — with an auger in her back. This fire was no accident.
Jorinde's got troubles of her own, but there’s a murderer to catch and Ivo’s political future to save.
