Lucinda Beckwith Long, the mayor of Athena, Mississippi, has donated a set of Civil War-era diaries to the archives of Athena College. She would like librarian Charlie Harris to preserve and substantiate them as a part of the Long family legacy—something that could benefit her son, Beck, as he prepares to campaign for the state senate.
Beck’s biggest rival would like to get a look at the diaries in an attempt to expose the Long family’s past sins. Meanwhile, a history professor is also determined to get her hands on the books in a last-ditch bid for tenure. But their interest suddenly turns deadly, leaving Charlie with a catalog of questions to answer. Together with his Maine Coon cat Diesel, Charlie must discover why the diaries were worth killing for before he too reaches his final chapter.
Charlie has ended up in the middle of a fight over some diaries but before he can sort this out (and scan/preserve them for posterity) the 4 diaries are stolen! Then a fifth is found but before any thing happen to this edition one of the people wanting exclusive access is killed. Kanesha and Charlie (with help from Diesel of course!) need to figure out what is so great about these diaries that they are worth killing over.
