A Book Within a Book

This is another mystery by the wonderfully literate Stephen Greenleaf. It is a mystery about a manuscript that turns up on a publisher's desk. Is it fiction or truth. Its a "book case". Get it? The manuscript is about a teacher at a prestigious Bay area prep school who is framed. He is accused of molesting a student and spends several years in jail. He is innocent and the book manuscript tells of the particulars of his frame-up and how he will take revenge. Tanner is hired to find the author of the manuscript and discover whether the manuscript is truth or fiction. This is a book within a book. It is very clever and a fun page-turner as are all Greenleaf mysteries.

Fraud and Murder

John Marshall Tanner is the likeable protagonist in this entertaining book. Tanner is a former lawyer who operates in a laid back fashion and is a private detective mostly by default.BOOK CASE is about fraud and murder. It also deals with the way in which some people can get ensnared by the lure of an elite private school.
