Dead Letters

Description

When museum fundraiser Nell Pratt becomes entangled in a murder connected to a collection of historic letters, she must navigate Philadelphia’s world of museums, donors, scholars, and buried secrets. As the investigation unfolds, long-hidden rivalries and questions of ownership, legacy, and authenticity bring the past dangerously close to the present. Blending sharp mystery, vivid institutional detail, and an engaging amateur sleuth, the novel explores how the stories people preserve can be just as dangerous as the secrets they conceal.
