Knjižarevo obećanje: Cliff Janeway istražuje

John Dunning

Knjižarevo obećanje treća je knjiga u seriji o Cliffu Janewayu nagrađivanog Johna Dunninga, američkog spisatelja neobično talentiranog i jedinstvenog kao i knjige koje tako iskreno voli i prodaje u svojoj knjižari i antikvarijatu Old Algonquin u Denveru.

Nakon što je na dražbi cijenjene i renomirane bostonske kuće kupio potpisano prvo izdanje djela Hodočašće u Meku i Medinu majstora pera i pustolovine, jezikoslovca Richarda Francisa Burtona, Cliff Janeway nemalo će se iznenaditi kada se u njegovoj knjižari rijetkim knjigama pojavi devedesetogodišnja Josephine Gallant i izjavi da je prava vlasnica njegova blaga – ona.

Njezin djed, vjerni Burtonov pratitelj, bio je u posjedu cjelovite Burtonove zbirke, no ubrzo nakon njegove smrti zbirka je misteriozno nestala. Pronašavši u Janewayu saveznika, gospođa Gallant zamolit će ga da joj vrati nestalo obiteljsko blago, no kratko nakon toga i njoj se gubi svaki trag. Janewaya će potraga odvesti do otrcane male baltimorske knjižare, pisca mutne prošlosti i bande razbojnika koji su očito u potrazi za istim književnim draguljem, ali kada tijekom istrage strada i njegov prijatelj, postat će očito da je netko spreman na sve kako bi tajne prošlosti ostale zauvijek skrivene.
