The bibliophile community is stunned when a reclusive rare book collector is found on the floor of his Montauk home: hands severed, surrounded by valuable inscribed books and manuscripts that have been vandalised beyond repair. In the weeks following, his sister, Meghan, and her lover - a sometime literary forger whose specialty is the handwriting of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - struggle to come to terms with his death. The police fail to identify a likely suspect, and the case quickly turns cold. Soon, Meghan's lover begins to receive threatening handwritten letters, ostensibly penned by long-dead authors but really from someone who seems to have disturbing insights into the murder. Understanding that his own life is in jeopardy, he attempts to forge a new beginning for himself and Meghan. Can they escape his vengeful stalker?
