The Bay Psalm Book Murder door Will Harriss

Why was Special Collections Librarian found dead in a garage with a priceless American imprint? A pair of thugs is suspected, but Cliff Dunbar believes that the book is the key to his friend's murder and investigates. Along the way he meets a glad-handing politician, an ex-madam, a Mafioso, a cowboy involved in rare books and a very nice proofreader. The story moves quickly and is mostly coherent, although I found the romance a bit pat and implausible.
