The Last Mapmaker of Kelvinhaugh
In Glasgow, old streets remember more than the people walking them. When Mara Venn inherits a failing map shop and discovers her late uncle was charting hidden routes through the city’s wards, she is pulled into a quiet war between those who keep the city safe and those who would use its buried paths to rewrite it.
