The Last Borrower
When a rare-book librarian in Nottingham finds a handwritten debt ledger hidden inside a returned novel, she realises the names in it are not just overdue fines but a map of old favours, blackmail and one unexplained death. As she follows the trail through a closing library, a private lending circle and a few people who prefer the past to stay shelved, the case becomes uncomfortably personal.
