The Last Proof
When a small Winchester press goes quiet after its founder vanishes, copy editor Nora Vale finds a half-finished proof in the return tray and notices a string of tiny errors that do not look accidental. The clues lead her through bookshops, printers and private collections, where old rivalries over a forgotten local author keep resurfacing. As the missing man’s story comes into focus, Nora realises someone has been using the machinery of publishing to hide a murder.
