Dunning, John The Sign of the Book : A Cliff Janeway "Bookman" Novel (Cliff Janeway Nove ls (Paperback))
Pocket March 28, 2006 0-7434-8247-6 / 9780743482479 Paperback Fine
As an antiquarian book dealer and sometime private investigator, Cliff Jane way is unique in contemporary crime fiction, and no doubt that accounts for a good part of his popularity among the book community. But it's the sure hand with which Dunning renders him (and a large cast of other characters) that makes the Bookman novels so compulsively readable. In this fine fourth volume in the series (after 2004's The Bookman's Promise), Janeway is sent , by his lover and partner, criminal defense attorney Erin D'Angelo, to the mountain town of Paradise, Colo., to look into the murder of Robert Marsha ll, a mysterious figure with a massive collection of signed first editions. But the connection to Erin extends well beyond Marshall's library: the vic tim was Erin's first real love, and his wife, Laura (who confessed to the c rime when she was found at the scene, covered in blood), was her former bes t friend. Naturally, the antiquarian book world serves both as background a nd plot element, and Janeway combines his experience as an ex-cop and knowl edgeable dealer to unravel the mystery. The book-related plot is somewhat a rbitrarily grafted onto the main narrative, but Dunning writes with such co nfidence and assurance the reader cannot help being drawn into this compell ing whodunit.
