When Liesl Weiss' boss has a stroke, she's left to run things at the rare books department of a large university. Then, she discovers that the library's most prized manuscript is missing. Liesl tries to sound the alarm, but is told repeatedly to keep quiet, to keep the doors open and the donors happy. What Liesl discovers about the dusty manuscripts she has worked among for so long - and about the people who care for and revere them - shakes the very foundation on which she has built her life.
