    Summary

    When Lucy MacLean starts studying in the town her father went missing in, so many years ago, she does so with a mission - to find answers. Why did he leave her and her brother? Was he a man struggling with the mental load of raising two children after the loss of his wife, or was there something more?

    When she’s sent to do a profile on a nocturnal, elusive archivist, however, she finds more than she ever could have imagined. Why had so many people gone missing, all around the same time? Who was this Moldaver figure, their name scrawled in the corner of so many ancient newspapers, and why does Professor Cooper - frustrating, arrogant, handsome - insult the authors of the classics like he knew them, over a hundred years ago?
