Dunning, twice nominated for the Edgar, deserves to win one for this Denver-cop-turned-bookman tale -- a lively, seductive primer on how to open a bookstore, spot a first edition, warehouse it, price it, and enjoy it for its own sake.

Dunning is an amazingly assured writer, willing to head off down narrative side streets, secure that his readers will follow. He's never wrong.
