A gripping, gritty mystery-thriller about power, complicity, and what happens when the system is the crime. Mara Keane arrives at Greyfriar House to fix a failing children's home. Instead, she finds a hidden night register documenting visitors who officially do not exist and a staff member whose sudden death raises questions that no one wants answered. As Mara investigates, she uncovers a quiet, procedural network that moves vulnerable children under legitimate authority, shielded by paperwork and silence. Every step closer to the truth puts her job, her reputation, and her safety at risk. When the system decides she's the problem, Mara has one choice: back down or burn it open. The Night Register is a tense, realistic mystery-thriller that exposes how abuse hides in plain sight, perfect for readers of institutional thrillers, psychological crime, and dark contemporary fiction.
