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 . . .
