- Summary
- Trudell Becket, book-loving librarian, finds herself in a bind when the library where she works is turned into a state-of-the-art bookless library. In a rare move of rebellion, Trudell rescues hundreds of her library's beloved books slated for the recycle centre. She sets up a secret book room in the library's basement and opens it to anyone who shares her love of the printed book. When the town councilman, who was the vocal proponent of the library's transformation into a "futuristic technological centre," is crushed under an overturned shelf of DVDs, Trudell becomes the police's prime suspect for his murder. She was the only person in the library at the time of his death, or so the police believe. But that's not true. For the past month, Trudell had been letting a few dozen residents into the building through the basement entrance so they could read and check out the printed books. But if she tells the police about the backdoor patrons who were in the library at the time of the murder, she'd have to explain about the secret book room and risk losing the books. In order to protect herself from being arrested for a murder she didn't commit, Trudell -- with the help of a group of dedicated readers -- decides to investigate. She quickly discovers you can't always judge a book by its cover
