Publish and perish.
Plumtree Press is about to launch a bombshell of a book—a fact-based novel about one of Britain’s most revered authors, Marcus Stonecypher, a member of Virginia Woolf’s Bloomsbury Group. Angela Mayfield’s shocking book reveals a series of explosive secret messages in Stonecypher’s own novels published at the turn of the century, messages that implicate him in secrets of publishers past and a treacherous plot to topple the monarchy. It soon becomes clear to publisher Alex Plumtree that someone will go to any length to keep Angela’s revelations from seeing print—but why, decades after the fact, should anyone care?
First come anonymous warnings, then, on the eve of publication, Alex’s library of precious first editions is vandalized. When deadly warnings and industrial sabotage imperil the book’s publication, Alex realizes he and his author have made some very powerful enemies. And then the titles of Stonecypher’s books become actual events and Alex finds himself threatened with censorship of the most permanent kind.

About the Author:
Julie Kaewert first indulged her fascination with book publishing by taking the Radcliffe Publishing Procedures Course in 1981. She then worked for book publishers in Boston and London before starting her writing career with a London magazine. Her series of mysteries for booklovers has topped mystery bestseller lists around the country. She is the author of Unprintable, Uncatalogued, Unsigned, Unbound, Unsolicited, and Untitled.
From Library Journal:
Alex Plumtree, a rare book collector, runs the family publishing business in London (see Unsolicited, St. Martin's, 1994). His firm's newest fiction title, based by author Angela Mayfield on her dissertation, claims that Bloomsbury writer Marcus Stonecypher coded treasonous messages in his works. Once word of the book leaks out, disturbing events occur: threats, thefts, surveillance, sabotage, and attempted murder. Alex and Angela suspect an elite group of book collectors but cannot figure out why they feel threatened by the Stonecypher code. Kaewert's finely crafted prose creates a heady mix of suspense, romance, and mystery?all within a rarefied world of book collecting and restoration. Although published only in paper, this belongs in all fiction collections.
