Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Some records are kept. Some are buried.Eleanor Finch has spent eighteen months cataloguing the archive at Old Sleaford Manor, and she has learned which doors are not for her. Then a thirteenth volume turns up wedged behind the others - not a ledger at all, but a Georgian diary describing a folly built in 1787 that appears on no map, no register, and no surviving record of the estate.Beneath the entry, in a smaller and more careful hand, someone has left a riddle.It leads her to a mirror in the east wing, and from there to a floor plan of a room that does not officially exist. But when Lord Alistair Croft summons her to his study, he already has the evidence on his desk - and he tells her the trail was laid deliberately, thirty years ago, as a test of who could be trusted to stop looking.She has failed it.Dismissed, burgled, and given until morning to leave the grounds, Eleanor has one night, an elderly housekeeper with a key she copied three decades ago, and a police inspector she isn't sure she can trust. What waits in the sealed chamber beneath the chapel is not treasure. It is a land deal, a coroner's signature that was bought, and the name of a young woman who drowned in 1962 - and who did not drown at all.A tightly wound British mystery of archives, inheritance and buried crime - for readers of Elly Griffiths, Kate Ellis, and Susan Hill's The Various Haunts of Men.…
