Ashes in the Archive
A Wren Alder Mystery

Wren Alder understands records.

Dates. Details. Patterns.

They tell stories long after people forget them.

When Mara Dalton - a quiet friend from the library - is found dead in her apartment, the case appears simple.

A suicide.

But Wren notices what others miss.

A missing tote bag.
A detail that doesn't fit.
A memory that refuses to settle.

With the help of Detective Hayes, Wren begins pulling at the loose threads.

The truth leads back fifteen years to a devastating fire that destroyed an entire block of Grayhaven - including a small corner market that once belonged to Wren's parents.

Some records were never meant to be reopened.

Some questions were never meant to be asked.

And someone in Grayhaven is still willing to kill to keep the past buried.
