The Last Shelf in Lace Market
When a small independent bookshop in Nottingham’s Lace Market becomes the last place a missing man was seen, its owner is drawn into a case that keeps circling back to old lies and recent debts. The deeper she looks, the more the shop’s quiet regulars seem to know about the disappearance than they are saying. What starts as curiosity turns into a choice between preserving a fragile community and exposing what it has been built on.
