No one should have to start their day by tripping over a body.

For Sam Harper, finding an injured man on the doorstep of her bookstore just adds another layer of chaos to her life.

That chaos turns deadly when she acquires a powerful grimoire, and an old adversary turns up at her bookstore, drawn by the grimoire.

The next time she trips over a body, it's unfortunately quite dead ~ and her adversary.

Once Sam becomes the prime suspect, she has to find the truth ~ about the grimoire, the mysterious stranger, and who hates her enough to frame her for murder.
