Hayley Burke is the librarian caring for Lady Georgiana Fowling's mystery collection. A board of directors, comprised of the late Lady Fowling's good friends, has approved Hayley's plan to open up the private library one afternoon a week to let people come in and enjoy the the first editions that Lady Fowling had amassed. However, to her consternation, Hayley has been directed by the board to allow Lady Fowling's nephew, Charles Henry Dill, an annoying older gentleman, to come work in the library once a week.
During one of the open afternoons, a man named John Aubrey comes and indicates he is the grandson of Lady Fowling. Since Lady Fowling was not known to have had a child, this causes a bit of a stir, especially with Charles Henry Dill, who had thought he was the closest existing relative to the Lady. After an associate who looks somewhat similar to John Aubrey is murdered, Charles Henry Dill is a suspect. Meanwhile, Hayley is busy trying to find out whether Aubrey is really a grandson to the Lady. He certainly knows a great deal about her writings.
