The Last Revision
When a freelance copyeditor in Durham starts finding unexplained changes in the manuscript she is working on, she assumes it is a simple version-control mistake. Then the edits begin to mirror details from her own life, and a missing local writer seems to have left clues hidden in the text. The closer she gets to the truth, the less certain she is that the manuscript is about anyone else.
