The Traitor (Bibliomysteries)

Martin Edwards
3.93/5 (66 ratings)
A novella that introduces book detective Benny Morgan from the acclaimed, multiple award-winning author of the Lake District Mystery series.

Book collecting seems a rather harmless hobby--unless it's someone like Felix de Lisle doing the collecting. He's rumored to have ties to the mob. What's been proven is that he has a penchant for the spy novels of Simon Verity. Some might call it an obsession . . .

It's this passion--and a bag of cash--that draws book scout Benny Morgan into his circle. De Lisle has gotten wind of a dust jacket that was commissioned for his favorite Verity title. It was never used and supposedly destroyed, but if there is a copy that exists, de Lisle must have it. As Benny searches for this elusive art in his world of collectors and dealers, he discovers the missing jacket and a dreadful secret that will put his honor--and quite possibly his life--on the line . . .

Praise for the mysteries of Martin Edwards

"Superb--a pitch-perfect blend of Golden Age charm and sinister modern suspense, with a main character to die for. This is the book Edwards was born to write." --Lee Child, #1 New York Times-bestselling author on Gallows Court

"[A] triumph . . . impressively channels Agatha Christie." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Mortmain Hall

"A wonderful, absorbing a crime deeply rooted in the past, a beautifully evoked sense of the Lake District." --Peter Robinson, New York Times-bestselling author on The Coffin Trail

"A poignant atmospheric, haunting, and so tactile you can almost smell the moist air." --Booklist on The Coffin Trail
