The Last Clean Copy
When a freelance copy-editor in Swansea is hired to clean up a self-published true-crime ebook, she finds deliberate changes buried in the text that point to an unsolved murder. The deeper she edits, the more the book starts to read like a warning aimed at her. Someone has already decided what the final version should say, and they are willing to kill for it.
