A lost novel worth a fortune. A single word that proves it is a lie.
When the final manuscript of celebrated novelist Céleste Marot surfaces in the archives of Belle-Rivière University, its discovery promises literary history - and a considerable payday. Hours before experts can authenticate it, archivist Hélène Savarin is found dead and the manuscript vanishes.
Inspector Maya Rivière and former investigative journalist Adrian Morel enter a closed world of heirs, biographers, collectors and publishers, each with a reason to possess the missing pages. Yet the evidence refuses to form one tidy crime. Someone forged the novel. Someone stole it. And someone killed to keep its history buried.
The answer lies in one word that could not have appeared on the page.
The Missing Manuscript is an atmospheric fair-play mystery set on the island of Belle-Rivière and the second Island Files case. It can be read as a standalone novel.
