About this audiobook
A forensic archivist uncovers a dead judge’s final secret — and becomes the next target.
Some archives preserve history. Others bury it.
When forensic archivist Vera Calloway accepts what appears to be a routine commission — cataloging the private papers of a recently deceased federal judge — she expects dust, procedure, and institutional legacy. What she finds instead are forgeries. Expert, deliberate, and multiplying. Documents systematically replaced to protect powerful people who cannot afford to let the true record survive.
The deeper Vera digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Two landmark rulings. A pharmaceutical conglomerate with millions in active lobbying. A senator whose buried financial ties trace back to the destruction of a Black neighborhood in Northeast Washington. And a dead judge who saw all of it coming — and left one final, hidden act of legal defiance.
Now the machinery meant to silence him is turning toward her.
