A New York Times Bestselling Author
English professor Arthur Prescott is happiest when surrounded by the ancient books and manuscripts of the Barchester Cathedral library, nurturing his secret obsession with the Holy Grail and researching his perennially unfinished guide to the medieval cathedral. Then a beautiful young American arrives in Barchester to digitize the library's manuscripts, and Arthur's tranquility is broken. Appalled by the threat modern technology poses to the library he loves, he sets out to thwart Bethany, only to find in her a kindred spirit with a similar love for knowledge and books - and a fellow Grail fanatic.
