Description:

The third antique print mystery in Lea Wait’s Agatha Award–nominated Maggie Summer series which The New York Times Book Review says, “beckons like a weekend in the country.”Antique print dealer Maggie Summer is teaching a college course on "Myths in American Culture," using prints by Currier & Ives and other 19th-century artists to illustrate her points. As a faculty advisor, she's also dealing with the problems of students who are single parents: problems that turn dangerous when a young mother is poisoned, and events twist Maggie's own thoughts about motherhood. She suspects a sinister connection between the past and the present, and her prints could provide valuable clues. But some secrets are too hard to see—even for an expert like Maggie—and some crimes hit too close to home...

“Fiction can show you a different world. It can take you somewhere you've never been. Once you've visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in.“

Neil Gaiman
