Behind the stories
Nicholas White writes mainly in mystery and enjoys discussing both the creative and practical sides of making books, from early drafts to finished editions.
A story does not need to explain everything to know what it means.

Early draft
When a rare catalogue goes missing from a small Gloucestershire library, senior assistant curator Ellen Barlow expects embarrassment, not murder. As she quietly follows the trail through marginal notes, old borrowing records and a stubbornly local web of loyalties, she finds that the missing book may be less important than what someone was trying to hide in it.
