The Best Cellar

Crighton Jones, public relations office at the Werner-Bok Library, gladly offers her spare room to a visiting graduate student. But then the student disappears, and Crighton gets a threatening phone call meant for her missing guest. Unless Crighton finds her in time, someone will bring her research to a premature, and permanent, conclusion.

Crighton calls on her old friends, Steve Carson and Edward George, for help. Their search draws upon all their powers of creative research and takes them to historic archives, government offices, and eighteenth-century Tidewater mansions. As they question quibbling scholars, a mysterious tour guide, and secretive First Families of Virginia, they suspect their most important clues are 200 years old. With studious persistence and growing fascination, the team of clever librarian detectives uncovers startling facts that may lead them to both the student and the historical treasure — unless a modern-day criminal gets there first.
