The Archivist's Missing Ledger

London, 1888. Miss Constance Odeley is hired to catalogue a dead physician's papers. The work is dull, dusty, and exactly what she wanted. Then she finds the index. Every patient he treated for free died within two years. Not in any order. In his order. The order he wrote them down. One volume is missing. The ledger itself. And someone is still making entries. A police surgeon with a name in that index joins her search, and together they descend into a charitable society that has been paying for graves for forty years — and paying for the bodies that fill them. Some men keep accounts. This one kept a list.
