A rare, signed edition of Midnight’s Children should have been the highlight of Poe’s trip to Mumbai. But when the auction house owner is murdered, and the police point the finger at her, book collecting takes a deadly turn.
With a cryptic code hidden in an old book of Marathi folktales, Poe and her friends must unravel a mystery that spans centuries. But someone is willing to kill to keep the past buried—can Poe crack the case before she becomes the next chapter in a deadly story?
Deckles and Death is a clever and fast-paced cozy mystery perfect for fans of bookish sleuths and international intrigue.

ACF Bookens loves a good mystery, a quaint bookshop, and a good cup of coffee. She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, where she takes joy in the mountain views and the quiet back roads. She lives with her son and three rescue cats who are, of course, nocturnal. Aslan, the cat in her books, is based on her departed first cat by that name, who spent an inordinate amount of time digging up her houseplants.
In her books, Bookens addresses issues of justice and writes with intention to disrupt the white supremacy that says that "whiteness" is normal by making purposeful note of every character's ethnicity. She is weary of books that assume everyone is white unless the author says otherwise because being white is not the default of reality. Her hope is that readers enjoy escaping into her stories and are challenged, just a little, to make themselves better people and the world a better place from the reading.
