   Summary

   It starts with a letter.
   A sketchbook.
   A girl who works at a dusty used bookstore and can’t leave well enough alone.

   When a mysterious package addressed to Captain America shows up decades after the war, Bucky Barnes finds himself unraveling a trail of forgotten love letters, wartime secrets, and ghosts that never stopped haunting the streets of Brooklyn.
