The Last House on Kirkstall Lane
When a narrow terrace house in Leeds is sold with one room still sealed shut, a local archivist starts asking awkward questions about who lived there and why the neighbours all remember different versions of the same night. The investigation pulls her into old disappearances, quiet bargains and the kind of small lies that only become dangerous after years of being repeated. It is a crime novel about memory, place and the business of finding out what people have spent a long time arranging to forget.
