Sisters, Angelica and Tricia Miles, are the co-presidents of the Stoneham Chamber of Commerce. Things are changing in the booktown, and some merchants would say not for the better. And all the business owners agree on one thing: Tricia and Angelica are to blame. When bookstore owner Eli Meier is killed, his romantic hounding of Angelica is brought up as a possible motive for murder. While Stoneham's new police chief is an old friend of Tricia's, he's not going to go easy on her sister. He's gearing up to throw the book at both of them.
