Inhaltsangabe

Enter a world of dragon politics and missing librarians – in 1920s New York City. Immerse yourself in The Lost Plot, the fourth gripping instalment in the Invisible Library series from Genevieve Cogman.

A covert mission. A royal demand. And a race against time.

In a 1920s-style America, Prohibition is in force, fedoras and flapper dresses are in fashion – and intrepid librarians Irene and Kai find themselves caught in a fierce dragon duel.

A demanding queen has ordered her heirs to find a rare book, and it seems a young librarian has become tangled in the conflict. If Irene and Kai can't extricate him, there could be grave political fallout for the library. This could even trigger war.

Irene and Kai's quest: to outsmart gangsters, evade security, rescue the librarian and retrieve the book. If they can't, it could have dire consequences for Irene's job. And, incidentally, for her life . . .

Continue the literary magic with The Mortal Word, the next step in this enchanting historical fantasy.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Genevieve Cogman started on Tolkien and Sherlock Holmes at an early age, and has never looked back. But on a perhaps more prosaic note, she has an MSc in Statistics with Medical Applications and has wielded this in an assortment of jobs: clinical coder, data analyst and classifications specialist. Although The Invisible Library was her debut novel, she previously worked as a freelance roleplaying-game writer. She is the author of the Invisible Library series and the bestselling Scarlet Revolution trilogy. Genevieve’s hobbies include patchwork, beading, knitting and gaming, and she lives in the north of England.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

It’s time for a cunning plan
If only Irene could find one
In an alternative 1920s America, Prohibition is in force, fedoras, flapper dresses and tommy guns are in fashion – and intrigue is afoot. Two dragons are vying for high office, and their last challenge is to hunt down a rare book. Librarian spies Irene and Kai are assigned to investigate, as a young Librarian is trapped at the heart of this conflict. If they can’t extricate him, the Library will face severe political repercussions. It could even trigger war.

So to avert disaster, the Librarians will face no-holds-barred gangsters, blackmail and fiendish security systems. But failure could have dire consequences for Irene’s job – and for her life.
