A rare book, a breathtaking view… and a mystery they never saw coming.
It’s not every day you get to sit on pristine blue water holding a beautiful, first edition Nadine Gordimer novel and wonder if you’ll survive the day.
Poe Baxter has always wanted to visit Cape Town, and when she hears that a rare book by a famous South African novelist has come on the market, she jumps at the chance. But as she and her best friend Beattie begin tracking down the literary treasure, they stumble into a far more dangerous mystery—one that puts them directly in harm’s way.
What is a rare book worth? A human life or two?
Butchery and Bindings is a gripping bookish mystery brimming with adventure, intrigue, and an unforgettable setting.

ACF Bookens loves a good mystery, a quaint bookshop, and a good cup of coffee. She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, where she takes joy in the mountain views and the quiet back roads. She lives with her son and three rescue cats who are, of course, nocturnal. Aslan, the cat in her books, is based on her departed first cat by that name, who spent an inordinate amount of time digging up her houseplants.
In her books, Bookens addresses issues of justice and writes with intention to disrupt the white supremacy that says that "whiteness" is normal by making purposeful note of every character's ethnicity. She is weary of books that assume everyone is white unless the author says otherwise because being white is not the default of reality. Her hope is that readers enjoy escaping into her stories and are challenged, just a little, to make themselves better people and the world a better place from the reading.
