520    The second book in Emilia Bernhard's charming Death in 
       Paris series, featuring two American sleuths in the City 
       of Lights, is perfect for fans of M. L. Longworth and 
       Juliet Blackwell.  Parisian summers are for strolls in the
       park . . . and solving a murder--or two.  When American 
       sleuth Rachel Levis stumbles upon an employee of the 
       French national library strangled in the bathroom of a 
       cafe, she's not surprised to be asked to help with the 
       investigation by her old acquaintance Capitaine 
       Boussicault--after all, she and her best friend Magda 
       solved a tricky murder only eighteen months before.  But 
       right from the start, this case proves to be très 
       difficile. When Rachel goes undercover as a librarian to 
       determine which of his book-loving colleagues loathed the 
       man enough to kill him, the library is rocked by more bad 
       news: a priceless antique book has been mutilated. And the
       very next day, her favorite suspect for the murder is 
       found dead in the stacks.  Just as the case is heating up,
       Boussicault pulls Rachel from the investigation. 
       Undeterred, she and Magda decide to forge ahead with their
       own investigation--even if it could put them at odds with 
       the police and in serious danger. With evidence and 
       suspects piling up, it will be up to them to find the 
       culprit--and stop more innocent books from being harmed--
       before anyone else checks out for good.
