A sparkling novel featuring librarian spies, stolen books and top-secret missions to alternate realities . . . perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Jasper Fforde or Doctor Who.
The fourth title in Genevieve Cogman´s witty and wonderful The Invisible Library series, The Lost Plotis an action-packed literary adventure.
A covert mission.
A royal demand.
And a race against time.
In a 1920s-esque America, Prohibition is in force, fedoras, flapper dresses and tommy guns are in fashion, and intrigue is afoot. Intrepid Librarians Irene and Kai find themselves caught in the middle of a dragon vs dragon contest. It seems a young librarian has become tangled in this conflict, and if they can´t extricate him there could be serious political repercussions for the mysterious Library. And, as the balance of power across mighty factions hangs in the balance, this could even trigger war.
Irene and Kai find themselves trapped in a race against time (and dragons) to procure a rare book. They´ll face gangsters, blackmail and fiendish security systems. And if this doesn´t end well, it could have dire consequences for Irene´s job. And, incidentally, for her life . . .
I absolutely loved this . . . flavoured with truly unique mythology and a dash of the eldritch N. K. Jemisin on The Invisible Library
Cogman, Genevieve
Genevieve Cogman started on Tolkien and Sherlock Holmes at an early age, and has never looked back.

Although The Invisible Library is her debut novel, she has also previously worked as a freelance roleplaying game writer. She is also the author of The Masked City and The Burning Page, both in The Invisible Library series. Genevieve Cogman´s hobbies include patchwork, beading, knitting and gaming, and she lives in the north of England.
