Miranda James is the New York Times bestselling author of the Cat in the Stacks Mysteries and the Southern Ladies Mysteries.

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEWED SERIES: Marilyn Stasio said of Twelve Angry Librarians, "Let us now praise the cozy mystery, so comforting on dark days, so warming on chilly nights-the literary equivalent of a cat"

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES MADE THE MOVE TO HC: After 3 New York Times bestsellers in mass market, we put the series into hardcover starting with Arsenic and Old Books, so this novel is the ninth hardcover reprint and fourteenth in the series overall

LONG TERM SUCCESS STORY: Miranda James is a beloved Berkley Prime Crime author and the Cat in the Stacks series is consistently one of our most successful

DELIGHTFUL BLEND OF COZY THEMES: Books, cats, and a small Southern town will appeal to readers of Ali Brandon, Carolyn Hart, Leann Sweeney, Sofie Kelly, and Lillian Jackson Braun

MORE BOOKS ON THE WAY: We plan to publish two original hardcovers in this series a year.
