The Quiet Cartographer
In a rain-darkened Leeds of the near future, Mara Vale makes a living mapping buildings that no longer quite stay put. When a municipal archive begins to lose whole rooms overnight, she is pulled into a search for the missing spaces and the people who were last seen inside them. The job becomes personal when her own flat starts changing in ways she cannot explain.
