1915, London: Working in the dusty bookshop that her Aunt Violet mysteriously inherited, Hannah Merrill is accustomed to finding twists in every tale. But discovering her beloved best friend Lily-Anne – with a paperknife through her heart – in the middle of the bookshop, is not a plotline she saw coming. The case is anything but textbook. With the discovery of a coded German message, and Hannah’s instinct that Lily-Anne’s husband is keeping secrets, she determines to get to the bottom of it. She can’t do it alone though.

""... viņu ieraugot, es jutos apmulsusi un apreibusi. Pēkšņa impulsa vadīta, es novilku kleitu un nometu to uz grīdas. Manas biksītes bija mitras no sviedriem un iekāres. Es tās ātri novilku, līdz tās gulēja kaudzītē blakus kleitai. Manas kailās krūtis pieskārās vēsajam loga stiklam, un es jutu, kā mans ķermenis saspringst. Manā galvā virpuļoja domas par šī jaunā vīrieša ķermeni, zinošajām kustībām un spēcīgajiem muskuļiem." Šis īsstāsts ir publicēts sadarbībā ar zviedru filmu producenti Ēriku Lustu.
