The Quiet Inventory
When a Newcastle audiobook proofreader starts hearing a missing chapter in the files she checks for a small indie publisher, she assumes it is a technical mistake. Then the details in the absent scene begin matching real events around her, including a death that was never meant to be part of the record. As she tries to trace where the altered recording came from, she finds that someone has been editing more than a manuscript.
