The Borrowed Index
When a rare local-history index disappears from a Newcastle lending library, the loss seems minor until a volunteer cataloguer finds a note tucked into its binding. The clue points to an old case no one in the neighbourhood wants reopened, and the people who remember it are suddenly careful with their words. As the search moves between bookshops, archive rooms, and quiet streets, the library begins to look less like a refuge and more like the place where everything was always kept in order, except the truth.
