The Last Catalogue Card
When a quiet Derby library prepares to discard its old card catalogue, senior assistant Mara Ellison finds a note tucked into a drawer that points to a missing local history manuscript and a death everyone has been too polite to question. As she starts asking awkward questions, she discovers the library’s records hide a long-running feud over a family legacy, a vanished donation, and a murder disguised as administrative neatness.
