The Mapmaker's Silence
In late Georgian Gloucester, a bookbinder's apprentice finds a coded map hidden inside a damaged parish register, and the clue points to a long-buried disappearance tied to the city's river trade. As she follows the trail through libraries, bookshops and back rooms, she discovers that several respectable people would rather the past stayed misfiled.
