Description
On an autumn night in 1999 in the west of England, a rare 14th-century manuscript is purloined from the oldest surviving chained library in existence. In THE CHAINED LIBRARY CONSPIRACY, a security guard is found unconscious on the floor of the library. Was he the inside man or a hapless victim? With no leads and fearful that the ancient text may already have been spirited out of the country, the local constabulary turns to American private eye Woody Meacham, whose success in tracking down rare books thieves is legendary. There’s immediate speculation that a ruthless, shadowy cartel known as the “Art Mafia” orchestrated the heist, operating on behalf of a once-distinguished English family with ties to the library that date back to the Victorian Era. Chasing down leads in London, Milan, Naples, and Washington, D.C., Meacham closes in on a surprising prime suspect as his accomplices disappear and die.
Reader Reviews
The HeistThe Chained Library Conspiracy -Arno B ZimmerBentley Beaverton wanted his ancestor’s Bible. He was willing to pay for it at all cost. A Mafia type group acquires a paratrooper who was able to steal the Bible.As fate would have it the thief decided to hand off a different book as the Bible. He placed the Bible at another library. Basically he got away with stealing this prized manuscript. What happened to the thief? I enjoyed this story very much.
A unique mysteryI wasn't sure that I was going to like this book. I started reading and there was a lot of hopping around at the beginning and following the characters and people were difficult. However, as I continue to read I started being able to catch up to the storyline. This is a good story it's got a lot of in-depth thought put into who did what and why. If you want something different then I recommend you read this book.
Excellent read. Enjoyed seeing both sides of the story.
