About this audiobook
The shop has always existed — a lost-and-found, a dispensary, a doorway in a city,waiting for whoever is standing outside to decide what they’re willing to give for what they want most. The ledger runs to six hundred volumes. The scales always balance. The mechanism never asks if the price was fair.
When twelve-year-old Samuel Reeves vanishes from a New York sidewalk, Detective Webb picks up a case with no leads, no ransom, and no body — until he finds a door that shouldn’t exist, and a man behind the counter who is always two seconds ahead of him. Webb has three weeks, and nothing left to trade but himself.
Around him, others have already paid: a father who bought back his drowned daughter with the warmth of his wife’s love. A musician who traded connection for genius. A woman who has spent thirty years standing outside the shop, keeping the only record of what it costs.
A novel about what we’ll give up to get back what we can’t afford to lose — and what’s left once we’ve given it.
