The reading room at the Boston Public Library is quiet, until the tranquility is shattered by a woman's terrified scream. Security guards take charge, instructing everyone inside to stay put until the threat is identified and contained. While they wait for the all-clear, four strangers, who'd happened to sit at the same table, pass the time in conversation. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning...it just happens that one is a murderer.
A twisty literary adventure.
