The Ledger of Lost Girls

Six weeks after the first bad air day, bookseller Claire Malloy is running her pop-up shop out of a church basement. Then a young woman is found dead in her donation bin — with a loyalty card from Claire's own store in her pocket. The dead girl checked into a shelter called the Glasshouse and never checked out. The shelter's charismatic director is selling real air filters to the highest bidder and killing the tenants who notice the fakes. Claire has a broken lease, a borrowed dog, a fifteen-year-old sidekick, and a bad habit of not letting go. This time the mystery is in her own ledger, written in her own hand, in a town running out of breath. An apocalyptic mystery with a small-town sleuth who refuses to stop asking questions.
