The second in Con Lehane's 42nd Street Library mystery series, Murder in the Manuscript Room is a smart, compelling mystery in which the characters themselves are at least as interesting as the striking sleuthing.

"Not to be missed." --Megan Abbott

"A story utterly relevant to the real-life horror story unfolding in America's immigration politics."--Sara Paretsky

When a murder desecrates the somber, book-lined halls of New York City's iconic 42nd Street Library, Raymond Ambler, the library's curator of crime fiction, has a personal interest in solving the crime. His quest to solve the murder is complicated by personal entanglements involving his friend--or perhaps more-than-friend--Adele Morgan. Not only does Adele's relationship with the young woman staffer who was murdered get in the way of Ambler's investigation, more disturbing for him is Adele's growing interest in a darkly handsome Islamic scholar.

Soon the Intelligence Division of the New York Police Department takes over the case from NYPD homicide detective Mike Cosgrove, Ambler's friend and sometimes partner-in-crime solving. Ambler suspects that the murder of the young woman, who'd been working at the library under an assumed name and the curious intervention of NYPD's intelligence division are connected. The trail of intrigue leads to a seemingly unrelated murder in an upstate prison and a long ago murder of a trade union reformer.

No one else sees the connections Ambler is sure are there--not an unusual state of affairs for Ambler. But with the city's law enforcement establishment determined to stop his investigation, the inquisitive and intrepid librarian faces challenges that may put his very life at risk.

Works
First this is zinc oxide. It is going to keep you from getting burned but will be able to see it. My family has yet to get sunburnt when wearing think brand sunscreen. To me that is what matters the most

Loved it! Buying again!
My husband usually only uses spray sunscreen, it was so awesome to find him a mineral based spray. The spray function on this is really smooth and makes applying really really quick. I will be buying again, this is definitely our staple sunscreen.

This product is not Sheer! Leaves a very visible white cast.
Don’t let this one fool you. Although this is a great brand and it does its job when it comes to sun protection, IT IS NOT SHEER! It left the worst white cast on my brown skinned baby. Left a really white cast on myself and I’m very fair skinned. Only reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because I purchased it because it claimed to be sheer and it is not.
