The Anne Brontë novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall has suddenly come out of hiding when a young man tries to have it valued at a televised Arts and Crafts Fair. It appears to be the same first edition that Sidney Lake uncovered a few years earlier and was subsequently stolen. But is it the same three-volume first edition? However, before Sidney and Hattie Ryan have a chance to track down the Savannah appraiser and the young man, Tillie James, now the owner of Gullah Island Services, LLC, redirects their attention. A ninety-year-old Gullah woman has just been cheated out of her island home by an out of state lawyer and she needs Sidney to use his connections at the County Solicitor’s office to right the wrong. Which problem will Sidney Lake try to solve first? Could there be a connection between the two incidents? Sidney, Tillie, Hattie and a host of their colleagues follow trails that run from New York, Washington, Savannah, Charleston, Beaufort and Morgan and run into a lot more danger than anyone though possible in the search for a rare book and the righting of a wrong done to an elderly woman.
