The Last Ledger at Ballyglass
When a small-town bookbinder in Kilkenny is found dead after a contested estate sale, the only thing missing is a handwritten ledger that seems to list more than accounts. Nora Keane, a cautious secondhand bookseller with a good eye for paper and a poor tolerance for nonsense, starts noticing how many people in Ballyglass have reasons to keep old records buried. The case draws her into family grudges, altered inventories, and the quiet ways a place can hide its worst truths in plain sight.
