Product Information

Cliff Janeway is back!The Bookman's Promisemarks the eagerly awaited return of Denver bookman-author John Dunning and the award-winning crime novel series that helped to turn the nation on to first-edition book collecting.First, it wasBooked to Die,thenThe Bookman's Wake.Now John Dunning fans, old and new, will rejoice inThe Bookman's Promise,a richly nuanced new Janeway novel that juxtaposes past and present as Denver ex-cop and bookman Cliff Janeway searches for a book and a killer.The quest begins when an old woman, Josephine Gallant, learns that Janeway has recently bought at auction a signed first edition by the legendary nineteenth-century explorer Richard Francis Burton. The book is a true classic, telling of Burton's journey (disguised as a Muslim) to the forbidden holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The Boston auction house was a distinguished and trustworthy firm, but provenance is sometimes murky and Josephine says the book is rightfully hers.She believes that her grandfather, who was living in Baltimore more than eighty years ago, had a fabulous collection of Burton material, including a handwritten journal allegedly detailing Burton's undercover trip deep into the troubled American South in 1860. Josephine remembers the books from her childhood, but everything mysteriously disappeared shortly after her grandfather's death.With little time left in her own life, Josephine begs for Janeway's promise: he must find her grandfather's collection. It's a virtually impossible task, Janeway suspects, as the books will no doubt have been sold and separated over the years, but how can he say no to a dying woman?It seems that her grandfather, Charlie Warren, traveled south with Burton in the spring of 1860, just before the Civil War began. Was Burton a spy for Britain? What happened during the three months in Burton's travels for which there are no records? How did Charlie acquire his unique collection of Burton books? What will the journal, if it exists, reveal?When a friend is murdered, possibly because of a Burton book, Janeway knows he must find the answers. Someone today is willing to kill to keep the secrets of the past, and Janeway's search will lead him east: To Baltimore, to a Pulitzer Prize-winning author with a very stuffed shirt, and to a pair of unorthodox booksellers. It reaches a fiery conclusion at Fort Sumter off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina.What's more, a young lawyer, Erin d'Angelo, and ex-librarian Koko Bujak, have their own reasons for wanting to find the journal. But can Janeway trust them?Rich with the insider's information on rare and collectible books that has made John Dunning famous, and with meticulously researched detail about a mesmerizing figure who may have played an unrecognized role in our Civil War,The Bookman's Promiseis riveting entertainment from an extraordinarily gifted author who is as unique and special as the books he so clearly loves.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • The Bookman's Promice

    I have read thousands of books and this is by far the dumbest. I am a writer, I collect hardcover books, I love mysteries, etc., so you'd think that I would enjoy a thriller about a book seller/collector (and I have enjoyed John Dunning's other novels), but this particular book was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I kept wondering how, in the process of writing the thing, there wasn't anyone in the author's life who said to him, "No, Mr. Dunning, this is really stupid. You might want to rethink this plot." This book was many things: a mystery, a comedy, a tragedy . . . all of them unintentional.

  • Fun read if you love antiquarian books or great storytelling

    All Dunnings books are great reads.

  • Another great book by this author

    This author is one of the best mystery writers in the US. His characterizations are almost visual while the plots are not. That is what makes a fantastic read.

  • John dunning is a wonderful story teller. I love all the bookman series.

    John dunning is a great story teller. I like all the bookman series but best to read them in order.
