Ink and Fire

Will her passion help her find the lost library, or will it lead her to take a wrong step?
Her reputation is at stake, and so is her life.

The most ambitious novel by Benito Olmo. An adventure-filled plot, packed with action, with no ups and downs, addictive pace, and a major final twist.

Greta is a renowned seeker of rare and valuable books, although her popularity has plummeted due to the disappearance of a first edition of Borges she was supposed to appraise. Drowning in debt and the distrust of those around her, she accepts an unusual commission: to find the library of the Fritz-Briones family, lost during World War II.
The investigation will lead her to Berlin, where she will discover that the Nazis carried out the greatest book theft in history, but also something more: someone is murdering bibliophiles, booksellers, and collectors around the world to try to reconstruct the legendary Library of the Jewish Community of Rome, which was looted and hidden by the Third Reich.
Greta won’t be able to resist this twist in the investigation. What book lover could ignore the trail of the legendary collection? Little does it matter that her life could be in danger; what she doesn’t know is that this adventure will lead her to discover a truth about herself that, perhaps, she is not prepared for.
