The Last Catalogue Card
When a beloved Cambridge library prepares to digitise its old card catalogue, a retired archivist finds a handwritten note hidden in a drawer that points to a missing local historian and a decades-old theft. The only person willing to untangle the mess is a meticulous cataloguer with a talent for noticing what everyone else has filed away as irrelevant. As the library’s quiet rooms fill with rumours, the search starts to expose how neatly people can misfile the truth.
