And a murder that turns a literary celebration into a crime scene.</p><p>When a bestselling true crime writer arrives in Maplewood to promote her latest book, the event promises record attendance at the town library.

Real ones are another matter.</p><p>With three mystery authors in attendance-one resentful, one newly successful, and one determined to protect a reputation decades in the making-professional jealousy quickly becomes motive.
