Description
Nestled in the valley of the ski resort town of Star City, Utah, is a side street full of shops that specialise in the simple charms of earlier eras. Among these is the Rescued Word, where Chester Henry and his adult granddaughter Clare lovingly repair old typewriters and restore old books. But when a stranger to town demands the antique typewriter they're already repairing for another customer, Clare fears she may need to be rescued. And when the man later shows up dead in a back alley, she wonders: What about a dusty old typewriter could possibly be worth killing for?
