How does the 1980s shooting of a union leader link to the death of a research assistant and the disappearance of a scholar? Librarian Raymond Ambler is once again involved in a murder case (following Murder at the 42nd Street Library). Ambler's investigation is not made easier by his feelings for a coworker who is personally involved with a victim and a suspect. Multiple characters struggle with responsibility in this intense, thought-provoking story.—LH
