Il nuovo scrittore residente presso l'Athena College è il drammaturgo Connor Lawton, noto per la penna mordace e la lingua biforcuta. Prima che riesca a portare a termine la stesura dell'opera a cui sta lavorando, il drammaturgo viene trovato morto, assassinato, e Laura diventa la sospettata numero uno. Credendo ciecamente nella sua innocenza, Charlie e il suo braccio destro felino, Diesel, seguono la scia di indizi lasciata da Connor, costellata di amanti arrabbiati, acerrimi nemici e bizzarre ricerche in biblioteca.

Poiché sospetta che qualcuno lo stia derubando, l'anziano ed eccentrico James Delacorte chiede al bibliotecario Charlie di fare l'inventario della sua collezione di libri rari. Poco dopo, Delacorte viene trovato morto alla sua scrivania, e a Charlie resta il compito di risolvere il suo omicidio. Il primo sospetto ricade sulla famiglia dell'anziano collezionista e l'improvvisato investigatore decide di affidarsi all'aiuto di Diesel, il suo gatto, per cercare ulteriori indizi ed eventuali prove.

Ad Athena, nel Mississippi, tutti conoscono Charlie Harris, il bonario bibliotecario con un gatto Maine Coon di nome Diesel che porta al guinzaglio. È tornato nella sua città natale per immergersi nei libri, ma ben presto si trova coinvolto in un thriller che si svolge nella vita reale. Godfrey Priest, famoso autore di bestseller ed ex compagno di classe di Charlie, sarà anche l’orgoglio di Athena, ma Charlie lo ricorda come un idiota arrogante e manipolatore, e non è il solo. Il suo ritorno come illustre ex-alunno non potrebbe andare peggio: entro l’ora di pranzo manda un uomo all’ospedale.

Charlie may be a proud new grandfather, but he and Diesel still have work to do at Athena College and the small Mississippi town's public library. He's too busy to deal with true-crime writer Jack Pemberton, who wants Charlie as the subject of his latest book - and who won't take no for an answer. A more appealing proposition for Charlie is spending time helping a kind, elderly man navigate the library's genealogical database. But he's shocked when he learns that the visitor's search is focused on a member of his own family: his late aunt's husband.

Athena College's new writer in residence is a famous native son, playwright Connor Lawton, known for his sharp writing-and sharper tongue.

It's great news until he hears who got her the job: her old flame, Connor Lawton . . .

It's National Library Week, and the Athena Public Library is planning an exhibit to honor the centenary of famous novelist Electra Barnes Cartwright - creator of the beloved Veronica Thane series.

Everyone in Athena, Mississippi, knows Charlie Harris, the good-natured librarian with a rescued Maine coon cat named Diesel that he walks on a leash. He's returned to his hometown to immerse himself in books, but soon enough he's entangled in a real-life thriller. A famous author of gory bestsellers and a former classmate of Charlie's, Godfrey Priest may be the pride of Athena, but Charlie remembers him as an arrogant, manipulative jerk—and he's not the only one. Godfrey's homecoming as a distinguished alumnus couldn't possibly go worse: by lunch, he's put a man in the hospital.

Suspecting that someone is stealing from him, the aging and eccentric James Delacorte wants Charlie to do an inventory on his rare book collection. Soon after they begin, Delacorte is found dead at his desk, leaving Charlie with the bigger task of solving his murder. Immediately Charlie is suspicious of Delacorte's own family, and relies on the help of Diesel to paw around for clues. The cat and mouse game heats up after a highly valued copy of Edgar Allan Poe's Tamerlane goes missing and a second murder occurs.

Charlie Harris is stressed out. The Southern Academic Libraries Association is holding this year's annual meeting at Athena College. Since Charlie is the interim library director, he must deliver the welcome speech to all the visiting librarians. And as if that weren't bad enough, the keynote address will be delivered by Charlie's old nemesis from library school. It's been 30 years since Charlie has seen Gavin Fong, and he's still an insufferable know-it-all capable of getting under everyone's skin.

December 25 is right around the corner. The last thing Charlie expects is to gain several new additions to his family. Charlie finds a box on his doorstep with five kittens inside and a note begging him to keep them safe. With Diesel's help, Charlie welcomes the tiny felines into the Harris household just as his neighbor Gerry decides it is time to throw a lavish holiday party. Determined to make her mark on Athena, Gerry instead winds up dead at her very own party.

In a lab deep in the heart of China, a brilliant engineer had a breakthrough. It was the most powerful AI ever created. Ma Young believed the Jade Dragon could combat the world’s most dire challenges. There was just one problem...the president of China had other ideas. Was this their chance to conquer?

Springtime in Mississippi is abloom with beauty, but the library's employees are too busy worrying to stop and smell the flowers.

But his biggest offense is declaring all four-legged creatures banned from the stacks. With enemies aplenty, the suspect list is long when Reilly's body is discovered in the library.

The fate of Taiwan hangs in the balance. If it falls to the Chinese, they will be one step closer to dominating all of Asia.

While North Korea no longer poses a significant threat, the incursions there have greatly weakened the United States military force. Will the President's draft and retooling of the economy move swiftly enough to make a victory possible? Or will America's resources be stretched so thin that Europe and Asia will both be lost?
