Publisher Description:

An empty apartment, locked from the inside: this is the mystery that literature-loving police inspector Dejan Lukic, hero of Zoran Zivkovic's The Last Book, is called in to solve. What has become of the woman who lives there, bestselling detective fiction writer Jelena Jakovljevic? And, perhaps more importantly still, what has happened to the manuscript of her newly-completed novel, Find Me? As Inspector Lukic becomes ever more entangled in the growing mystery, a highly-strung literary agent, a blind painter, a virtuoso lock-picker and various cutthroat publishers all have their part to play in an elaborate game of misdirection and pursuit. Not to mention the dark powers of the National Security Agency and a secret cult seeking the key to immortality. Once again, Inspector Lukic stands at the heart of a literary conundrum only he can solve and through which he stands to gain--or lose--everything.
The second part of The Papyrus Trilogy.
