The Last Catalogue
In post-war London, a junior cataloguer at a damaged public library discovers that a set of misfiled records may hide the truth about a wartime disappearance. As she follows the paper trail through ruined streets, committee rooms and private collections, she finds that the people guarding the past are often the ones most afraid of it. The book follows a quiet, stubborn investigation where every correction has a cost.
