"Cordelia knows books. An addict-turned-dealer of classic paperbacks...[t]he most elusive prize of all, her white whale, has surfaced--a set of magnificent, vintage Sleuth Hound crime novels. Gorgeous, and as rare as they come. Just one problem. They're not for sale. Still, that won't stop a resourceful woman like Cordelia…One burglary later, the books are hers. Unfortunately, the man she's just robbed turns out be one of London’s most dangerous gangsters, and now he's on her trail and out for blood"-- Provided by publisher.
