The Silent Volume

By BALA NAIR

Silent Volume
A Mystery Novel by Bala Nair
In the hushed corridors of a prestigious university library, silence is broken not by the turning of pages-but by murder.
Elara, a brilliant yet introverted librarian, has always been content among her books. But when her mentor is found dead in the restricted section, she stumbles upon a disturbing clue: a forgotten printer's mark carved into a shelf, and a rare manuscript gone missing.
Dismissed by the police, Elara begins her own investigation. The deeper she delves, the more she uncovers-a secret society of bibliophiles, dangerous rivalries, and a killer who communicates through codes hidden in the history of printing.
As bodies begin to fall, Elara must race against time to unravel the mystery before the murderer silences her too. Armed only with her intellect, her courage, and her deep knowledge of books, she steps into a deadly game where every clue could be her last.
Silent Volume is a gripping literary detective novel-at once atmospheric, intellectual, and suspenseful-perfect for lovers of mysteries where history, knowledge, and courage collide.
