Synopsis

DCI's Jacob Vance and Brittany Shepherd are thrust into one of their most baffling cases yet: a series of gruesome murders that seem to be connected to London’s rich literary history.
 
Theatrical and chilling, the murders are executed with macabre flair, with each victim bearing the name of a character from a famous book. The murderer is no ordinary psychopath, and his brilliant countermoves and false identities constantly keep Vance and his team on their toes.
 
In a deadly game of cat and mouse, can Vance and Shepherd outwit the maniacal killer before another life is lost?
 
A thrilling blend of mystery and psychological drama, THE LONDON BIBLIOPHILE MURDERS is the seventh book in John Broughton's Vance And Shepherd Mysteries series.

    🧵 Quilt shop owner and fabric designer Penny Patchwork is launching her new line of charm packs when the fabric company's ruthless executive—known for stealing independent designers' ideas—is found dead in her shop, smothered by a mountain of pre-cut fabric squares. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Penny notices the charm packs have been deliberately mixed and the victim's business notes contain fabric swatches arranged in a coded quilt block pattern. With her fabric line launch in jeopardy and the quilting community taking sides, Penny must piece together this patchwork of deception. Assisted by her quilting guild and the handsome textile manufacturer analyzing fabric composition, Penny uncovers a scheme involving design theft, counterfeit fabric prints, and a plot to sabotage independent fabric designers. From suspicious print registration that reveals unauthorized copying to fabric grain that doesn't match production standards, every square tells a story. But when Penny discovers the victim was systematically stealing quilt patterns and fabric designs from small creators to mass-produce them, she realizes the killer is protecting creative rights more valuable than any fabric line. With the quilt market days away and the real thief still cutting deals, Penny must square the evidence before her own designs get permanently copied.
