About this listen

All trails became dead ends. Tips that had at first seemed urgent now faded away. The waiting game began. Whoever had the manuscripts would want money, and a lot of it. They would surface eventually, but where and when, and how much would they want?

The most daring and devastating heist in literary history targets a high security vault located deep beneath Princeton University. Valued at $25 million (though some would say priceless), the five manuscripts of F. Scott Fitzgerald's only novels are amongst the most valuable in the world. After an initial flurry of arrests, both they and the ruthless gang of thieves who took them have vanished without trace. Dealing in stolen books is a dark business, and few are initiated to its arts - which puts Bruce Kable right on the FBI's Rare Asset Recovery Unit's watch list.

A struggling writer burdened by debts, Mercer Mann spent summers on Florida's idyllic Camino Island as a kid, in her grandmother's beach cottage. Now she is being made an offer she can't refuse: to return to the peace of the island, to write her novel - and get close to a certain infamous bookseller, and his interesting collection of manuscripts....

Not up to usual Grisham standard. Highly improbable, very slow going with excessive padding and superfluous detail. The author seems to want to demonstrate a level of research and trivia rather than a story. A short story stretched into a book perhaps.

A good narrator, clever plot and an interesting end to the story! A holiday read.

Loved reading. Full of suspense from the beginning. A bit different from other books written by J Grisham.

Enjoyed The Story

I bought this book based on previous Grisham books I’ve read.
This book is really slow and goes into unnecessary detail which has nothing to do with the story. For example the main character going for a swim at the beach hoping the good looking jogger she’s seen goes past, but he doesn’t that day. It went into great depth, took ages and had nothing to do with previous or earlier storyline!!

Slow and disappointing
