Description: Gregory Skipwith belongs to a club of eighteenth-century scholars called At Buttons. The club and the New York Public Library where Gregory works should have protected him from violence, but it doesn't. He finds himself confronted with murder and violence even in these dim places. When he and his strange crew of scholars try to cope with a conspiracy of conspiratorialists in New Orleans these reach their climax.
