The Ledger in the Wall
In late-Victorian Exeter, a widowed copyist discovers a hidden ledger sealed inside the wall of a library that is being quietly remodelled. The book links a local family, a vanished apprentice and a death that was made to look like an accident, but every answer seems to cost someone their reputation.
