What a surprise read, so much better than I was expecting and I definitely want to read the other books in the series. Books about books is fast becoming my favourite genre! Combine some mystery and mayhem, one very rare book and 45 bibliophiles with a few unexpected murders and this novel rockets along in the vein of an Agatha Christie or Dorothy L Sayers. I really enjoyed the build up of excitement and tension that follows this exceptionally precious little - untitled book. First of all it is discovered mysteriously hidden in a private library, only to be stolen then amazingly recovered. During a helicopter flight to return it to safety it gets thrown out of the window, assumed lost forever, only to be picked up in the middle of a farmer's paddock! I loved it. ( ) Maybe I needed to start reading this series with #1 in order to buy into the totally outrageous plot and unbelievable series of events. The main character, Alex Plumtree, is an upper-class British publisher who is often mistaken for Pierce Brosnan (when he was 45). He has a brilliant, stunning girl friend and a loser brother. After discovering the last copy of an ancient secret book he is inducted into an exclusive club made up of the least likable group of British cliches you are likely to find shooting skeet (and each other) and riding to the hounds. If you know anything about helicopters skip pages 247 to 257. You have been warned.

The perfume of old books and the smell of danger... Publisher Alex Plumtree is in for the most astounding week of his life. First he comes into possession of a rare, centuries-old book, rumored destroyed on orders of King Edward IV. Then he receives an undreamed-of honor: an invitation to join a select society of book collectors...who are also some of the most powerful men and women in England. But Alex's triumph quickly turns sour. The book vanishes from Alex's office. His initiation weekend with the Dibdin Club is rife with bizarre behavior, appalling accidents--and a death that sends Alex reeling. He quickly begins to suspect that his valuable find is even more than it seemed on first glance. For hidden in its pages is a shocking secret that could change the history of books forever...as well as the face of the modern world. And there are people--and foreign powers--who would do anything to keep this secret from coming to light. All Alex has to do is figure out what that secret is. If he can stay alive long enough.
