About this Event
About the Book: In Shelved, the tranquility of a Madison bookstore unravels when theft, betrayal, and ultimately M**der shatter its quiet rhythm. As Detective John Meyer investigates the suspicious death of a staff member, he finds himself entangled in a case that feels uncomfortably personal—mirroring the fractures of his own recent divorce. With every suspect hiding secrets but none fitting the mold of a criminal, the lines between professional duty and private reckoning blur. Atmospheric and psychologically sharp, Shelved explores how the stories we tell ourselves can obscure the truths we most need to face.
