The Last Copy
A Chester bookseller finds a rare, annotated first edition tucked inside a consignment of old stock, and the discovery pulls him into a chain of lies around a missing local journalist. As he starts tracing the book's previous owners, it becomes clear that someone is willing to kill to keep the provenance of the volume buried.
