Description
Some secrets sleep for a hundred years. Then someone wakes them.
Theo is a quiet librarian who spends his days sorting through old donations. When he finds a handwritten manuscript sealed with red wax, he expects an unpublished novel. Instead, he discovers a confession. Matilda Vance wrote every detail of her own murder—and named her killer. But the last page is missing.
Driven by a sense of justice he cannot ignore, Theo pieces together the evidence. He finds Matilda’s private journal, Arthur Vance’s hidden diary, and a family of witnesses who were paid to forget. But the Vances are still powerful. Their descendants will do anything to protect the name.
As Theo gets closer to the truth, he faces threats, a mysterious fire, and a desperate woman willing to destroy history to save her family’s reputation. With the help of an aging archivist, a reluctant heir, and a journalist with nothing to lose, Theo races to uncover the missing page before the truth burns forever.
