Der Club der letzten Buchhändler 2 - Das Vermächtnis des Dichters

Miranda now runs the bookshop of her aunt Emma in the French town of Saint-Flour, and it quickly becomes clear that far more than sales is at stake there. A temporary helper whom Emma has hired deals in rare editions and pursues a very particular aim. He is looking for a lost manuscript attributed to the poet Arthur Rimbaud, and suspects the key lies with a circle devoted to preserving old book culture.

Soon Miranda realizes that in this scene no one appears openly. A bookseller has suddenly vanished, a stranger slips into his role, and a secret whose keepers fear any curiosity becomes increasingly hard to ignore. Anyone who digs deeper treads on dangerous ground.

Emma, too, is no longer a harmless target, for a culprit has set their sights on her. Miranda must find out how far back the circle’s history reaches and what value the manuscript has, for which some are prepared to go far. Every answer raises the question of whom one can still trust in this world of books.
