Sinossi

What holds more secrets in the library—the ancient books shelved in the stacks or the people who preserve them? 
 
Liesl Weiss long ago learned to be content working behind the scenes in the distinguished rare books department of a large university, quietly managing details to make the head of the department look good. But when her boss has a  
stroke and she’s left to run things, she discovers that the library’s most prized manuscript is missing. 
 
Liesl tries to sound the alarm and inform the police about the missing priceless book but is told repeatedly to keep quiet, to keep the doors open and the donors happy. But then a librarian unexpectedly stops showing up to work. Liesl must  
investigate both disappearances, unspooling her colleagues’ pasts like the threads of a rare book binding as it becomes clear that someone in the department must be responsible for the theft. What Liesl discovers about the dusty manuscripts she  
has worked among for so long—and about the people who care for and revere them—shakes the very foundation on which she has built her life. 
 
The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections is a sparkling debut novel about a woman struggling to step out from behind the shadows of powerful andunreliable men and reveals the dark edge of obsession running through the most devoted bookworms.
