Synopsis

Yomiko Readman loves books with a devotion that leaves little room for ordinary life. She also serves the British Library as an agent who can turn paper into a weapon, a talent suddenly needed when a rare book makes her a target.

Working with Nancy Makuhari and Drake Anderson, Yomiko follows a trail of stolen knowledge and extraordinary figures seemingly returned from history. A lost musical manuscript lies at the center of a scheme whose danger extends far beyond the world's libraries.
