The Book Supremacy

Newlyweds Brooklyn and Derek spend their honeymoon in Paris browsing the books stalls and enjoying their new married life. In The Book Supremacy by Kate Carlisle, Brooklyn finds a copy of The Spy Who Loved Me and she buys it as a gift for Derek. They also bump into Ned, an old friend of Derek's, who recommends an unusual shop in their home town of San Francisco. (The Book Supremacy will be released by Berkley on June 4.)


When they return home Brooklyn discovers her find is a first edition, which excites her even more. When Brooklyn and Derek make a visit to the spy shop Ned recommended, they find it stocked with just about everything a would-be James Bond might need and it has several Escape Rooms, too, plus a quirky band of writers named Tinker, Tailor, Soldier and Princess.

When the owner of the store asks to display Brooklyn's book at his spy shop, she agrees reluctantly. Derek double checks the security and deems it sufficient to protect the valuable first edition. Figuring to keep the real value
secret, they do not tell anyone its real value.

One evening the alarm goes off and Derek and Brooklyn rush to the shop hoping the book hasn't been stolen. What they do find is more disastrous - someone has been murdered in one of the Escape Rooms. 

They set out to find the killer and still protect the book. Before long Brooklyn and Derek begin to suspect someone in his company is behind the theft and murder and they set a trip to catch a killer. Always plenty of action when Brooklyn and Derek are involved.
