A love letter to libraries. A puzzle for the ages. A fight for the future.

A stolen book. A cryptic note. Retired reporter Marvin MickleThwait knows something’s wrong, and librarian Gloria Thanh is his only hope.

Their search plunges them into a long-forgotten part of the library’s underground stacks, where they discover a code hidden behind several spurious call numbers. Each clue pulls them deeper into a conspiracy that threatens not just the library, but their growing feelings for each other.

Someone wants this library closed. Permanently. And Marvin and Gloria stand in the way.
