The Last Borrowed Book
When a small Glasgow lending library is due to close, its quietly formidable volunteer manager finds a rare book missing and a dead man in the archive room. She starts asking awkward questions about donations, debts and the people who treat old books like leverage. The case turns on who knew the library’s records were cleaner than their consciences.
