A humble book and rare manuscript shop seeks a  keenly intelligent investigator to assist us in our search for things  thought lost, and in our quest to return lost items to their rightful  owners. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eNever an adventurer, no one was more surprised than  Delaney Nichols when she packed her bags and moved halfway across the  world to Edinburgh, Scotland to start a job at The Cracked Spine, a  bookshop located in the heart of the city. Her new boss, Edwin  MacAlister, has given her the opportunity of a lifetime, albeit a  cryptic one, and Delaney can’t wait to take her spot behind the desk. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  Cracked Spine is filled with everything a book lover could want, each  item as eclectic as the people who work there; the spirited and lovable  Rosie, who always has tiny dog Hector in tow; Hamlet, a  nineteen-year-old thespian with a colored past and bright future; and  Edwin, who is just as enigmatic and mysterious as Delaney expected. An  extra bonus is Tom the bartender from across the street, with his cobalt  eyes, and a gentle brogue—and it doesn’t hurt that he looks awfully  good in a kilt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut before she can settle into her new life, a  precious artifact goes missing, and Edwin’s sister is brutally murdered.  Never did Delaney think that searching for things lost could mean a  killer, but if she’s to keep her job, and protect her new friends,  she’ll need to learn the truth behind this Scottish tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177770041584,"sku":"9781466861213","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466861213_p0.jpg?v=1763686530","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466861213","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
