The Quiet Room
When a Bristol archivist finds a dead man in a disused council records room, the death looks like an accident until she notices the files missing from the shelves around him. As she starts tracing the gaps, she finds a pattern of old complaints, sealed reports and people who have spent years pretending certain decisions never happened.
