The Last Proof
When a forensic accountant in Canterbury disappears after flagging a pattern of laundering through a chain of small publishers, the case lands on a detective who would rather be anywhere else. The deeper he digs, the more the money trail points to a local printing firm, a dead journalist, and a manuscript that was never meant to survive revision. It turns into a hunt through book trade backrooms, family loyalties and the kind of respectable fraud that keeps its shoes polished.
