Early draft
When a rare books librarian in Southampton finds a handwritten catalogue hidden inside a damaged donation box, it points to a missing local historian and a string of quiet thefts that have gone unnoticed for years. As she follows the trail through reading rooms, storage vaults and private collections, she realises the crimes are tied to a death everyone thought was an accident.
