<DIV><DIV><B>A puzzler of a tale about a dead bookshop owner, a priceless cache of first editions, and a deadly secret taken to the grave.</B><BR /><BR /> It&rsquo;s no mystery who killed Robert Ripple, owner of Precious Finds Bookstore in Pokesville, Pennsylvania. It was Agatha Christie&mdash;or rather, a large carton of valuable Christie hardcovers that the not-so-young Ripple was attempting to lift when his heart gave out. The real question is why the so-called Friends of England, who meet regularly in the back room of Ripple&rsquo;s literary emporium, are so eager to keep the place open after its proprietor&rsquo;s death. Certainly it must have something to do with the Friends&rsquo; past lives as the associates of a slain New York mobster. Whatever their plan is, they&rsquo;ll need the help of Tanya Tripp, Ripple&rsquo;s recently hired and completely unsuspecting assistant, if they want to pull it off. But despite her trustworthy appearance, Tanya may well be hatching a scheme of her own.<BR /><BR /> For over four decades, Peter Lovesey has occupied an honored place as one of crime fiction&rsquo;s best and brightest. With&#160;<I>Remaindered</I>, he offers his readers a delectable tidbit about books and those who live&mdash;and die&mdash;for them.<BR /><BR /><I>The Bibliomysteries are a series of short tales about deadly books, by top mystery authors.</I></DIV></DIV>
