<div>The most evil book ever conceived falls into the hands of the leader of the Spanish Inquisition in this ingenious bibliomystery from the bestselling creator of Repairman Jack. In the fifteenth century, the Spanish Inquisition spreads terror throughout the land, with Prior Tom&aacute;s de Torquemada serving as the ultimate judge of who will live and who will be consigned to the purifying flames. Never has Torquemada questioned his own faith or his sacred duty to rid the world of heretics, blasphemers, and nonbelievers. Now, however, an extraordinary volume has come into his possession&mdash;an ancient book that radiates pure evil. The prior realizes this abomination must be destroyed along with anyone who has come into contact with it, for it is surely the devil&rsquo;s work, corrupting and possessing all those who touch it. But whom can Torquemada trust to help him achieve his mission now that The Compendium of Srem has passed through numerous hands . . . including his own? F. Paul Wilson is a writer who is at home working in many different genres, from medical thriller to science fiction to mystery to urban fantasy to horror. Now he travels back centuries in time to explore the secret history of a book of great and terrible power, an ancient volume of eldritch lore that plays a substantial role in the author&rsquo;s popular Repairman Jack series of novels: The Compendium of Srem. The Bibliomysteries are a series of short tales about deadly books, by top mystery authors.</div>

The Compendium of Srem

<div>Book-centered mystery novellas from four masters of the craft. From Anne Perry, the New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series, comes The Scroll. Hapless bookseller Monty Danforth&rsquo;s recent discovery of a millennia-old manuscript plunges him into a cutthroat conspiracy. &ldquo;A master storyteller.&rdquo; &mdash;The Star-Ledger Christopher Fowler, author of the Bryant and May mysteries, presents Reconciliation Day. One man&rsquo;s obsession with a lost edition of Bram Stoker&rsquo;s Dracula sends him on a dangerous journey to Transylvania. &ldquo;If Edgar Allan Poe and Monty Python had lived in the same country and the same century and somehow struck up a creative collaboration, their work might have resulted in fiction similar to Fowler&rsquo;s.&rdquo; &mdash;Richmond Times-Dispatch From F. Paul Wilson, the New York Times&ndash;bestselling creator of Repairman Jack, comes The Compendium of Srem. Prior Tom&aacute;s de Torquemada yields the ultimate power, deciding who lives and dies during the Spanish Inquisition, but an ancient, evil tome is about to change that. &ldquo;A great storyteller and a thoughtful one.&rdquo; &mdash;David Morrell, New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of First Blood Elizabeth George, the New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of the Inspector Lynley novels, brings you The Mysterious Disappearance of the Reluctant Book Fairy.
