The Last House on Rykneld Street
When a retired school administrator is found dead in a derelict terrace on the edge of Derby, the case looks like a straightforward burglary gone wrong. Then a local archivist starts finding gaps in the dead woman’s records, and it becomes clear someone has been tidying away more than just the house.
