First draft
The Last Copy on Grafton Street
When a small Dublin bookshop starts receiving anonymous corrected proofs slipped into secondhand paperbacks, a meticulous bookseller is drawn into a puzzle that seems to be pointing at an old local disappearance. The clues are buried in print errors, marginal notes and the awkward loyalties of people who have known one another for too long.
