These copies are considered by the publisher to be first editions, since there are no other changes to the book. Bernie Rhodenbarr, burglar extraordinaire and bookseller ordinaire has gone country. That is, to the New England countryside. Our setting is Cuttleford House, a charming, English-style inn, where Carolyn and Raffles the Cat have joined Bernie for a wintery weekend. Of course, Carolyn wasn't Bernie's first choice for a romantic weekend, but his intended, Lettice Runcible, turned out to be someone else's intended. As a bookseller, Bernie is always in search of a valuable edition, and this time he believes he's found it...a rare first edition of Raymond Chandler's "The Big Sleep", and it's autographed to, of all people, Dashiell Hammett. It's somewhere in Cuttleford House's library. During his nightly prowl, Bernie finds unexpected company in the form of a corpse. The next morning everyone else finds the body too. Making matters worse is the fact that all of the guests are snowbound after a severe winter storm. With everyone accusing everyone else, Bernie decides to catch the culprit before there's another murder. Worst of all, the book has mysteriously disappeared off the library shelves.
