The new bookshop in Kilbane is hosting a reading and autographing event featuring up and coming Irish writers who will be taking up residency for a month. Among them is indie author Deirdre Walsh, who spends more time complaining about the unfairness of the publishing industry and megastar bestsellers instead of her own creative works, causing a heated debate among the writers. She seems to have a particular distaste for the novels of Nessa Lamb.

Then Deirdre's body is found the next day in the back of the store--with pages torn from Nessa's books stuffed in her mouth. Now, Garda Siobhán O'Sullivan must uncover which of Kilbane's literary guests took Deirdre's criticisms so personally they'd engage in foul play…
