The Catalogue of Lost Names
When a quiet archivist in Inverness discovers that certain library records have begun to vanish from every catalogue at once, she finds herself tracking a pattern that leads into the city’s older, stranger corners. The missing entries are not just books or names, but pieces of memory that someone has learned how to file away and steal. The deeper she goes, the more she has to decide whether preserving the record of a thing matters more than saving the thing itself.
