About the book
Written in Stone, the tenth installment in the Scottish Bookshop series by Paige Shelton, set in a specialty bookstore in Edinburgh called The Cracked Spine
When Delaney wins a special invitation to artist Ryory Bennigan's studio at the Hidden Door Festival, she is unsure of what to expect. What she discovers is a mysterious man who is obsessed with the Picts, complete with his own versions of their blue tattoos and vibrant red hair, as he recreates the stones they left behind. She also meets Dr. Adam Pace, a visiting paleontologist from the University of Kansas, who is trying to sell an artifact that could potentially reveal the true sound of the Picts' language.
However, before the deal can be finalized and Ryory can examine the artifact closely, Dr. Pace is found dead. With the police slow to investigate, Delaney takes it upon herself to delve into Dr. Pace's past. As she unravels his shady background—selling fake dinosaur bones and facing 3D-printing trouble in Kansas—she questions if his past has caught up with him in Edinburgh. What implications does Dr. Pace's questionable history have on the mysterious Pictish artifact he was attempting to sell? Delaney must use her investigative skills to uncover the truth behind this case before she becomes a victim herself.
