A book about beautiful societies founded on theft and treachery, and one in which dead sisters are a living force. A book where hidden treasures are recovered where wicked things people think they've shaken from their trails find their scent again. The Absolute Book is an epic fantasy, intimate in tone. Taryn, Jacob, Shift - three people are driven towards a reckoning felt in more than one world. And a shadowy young man named Shift appears, bringing his shadows with him. A policeman, Jacob Berger, has questions about a cold case. There are questions about a fire in the library at Princes Gate, her grandparents' house, and about an ancient scroll box known as the Firestarter. The book is a success, but not all of the attention it brings her is good. She has written a book about the things that threaten libraries - insects, damp, light, fire, carelessness and uncaring. She has chosen to live a life more professional than personal. Taryn Cornick believes that the past is behind her - her sister's death by violence, and her own ill-concieved revenge.
