Some books hold history. Others hold deadly secrets.

Traveling to Syria isn’t always the safest choice, but for Poe Baxter, the real danger isn’t political—it’s tied to her latest book acquisition.

When she hears of a rare 1st-century codex hitting the market in Damascus, Poe and her best friend Beattie jump at the chance to acquire it. But the moment they arrive, it’s clear there’s far more at stake than an ancient manuscript. Someone is willing to kill to keep its secrets buried.

Can centuries of mystery be unearthed safely? Or should some stories remain lost to time?

Monograph and Murder is a thrilling bookish mystery packed with history, suspense, and international intrigue.
