The Name Beneath the Skin
Some names are buried to protect the living. Others refuse to stay buried.
Lisbon, 2024. When conservator Elisa Moura examines an old black notebook sewn with red thread, she discovers names that someone tried to erase-and a connection to her father, a journalist whose death has haunted her family for decades.
The notebook leads her back to Whitechapel in 1888, where a woman preserved the identities of those the city had forgotten. More than a century later, those fragile records threaten to expose a history of stolen lives, concealed origins and carefully manufactured respectability.
As Elisa follows the trail between Lisbon and London, her mother's silence takes on a new meaning. The documents begin to unravel everything she thought she knew about her family. And in the quiet of the archive, she hears voices she cannot explain.
Someone still has a reason to keep the past hidden. To uncover the truth, Elisa must decide whom to trust-and how much of herself she is willing to lose.
The Name Beneath the Skin is a haunting psychological thriller where historical crime, family secrets and the supernatural converge, and where recovering a name may be the first step towards reclaiming a life.
