About this audiobook
Some discoveries don’t just rewrite history. They detonate it.
When a celebrated historian’s posthumous papers arrive for cataloguing, research librarian Vera Strand expects the usual disorder of a famous man’s legacy. What she uncovers instead is a systematic theft — stolen field research, buried citations, and a Lummi scholar named Agnes Tallfeather who surrendered fifty years of silence in exchange for a single subordinate clause.
But Agnes’s silence wasn’t a choice. It was a sentence.
As Vera reconstructs what happened in 1975, the past refuses to stay buried. A landmark Indigenous land rights case hinges on the very research Hale stole. A gubernatorial candidate is building his campaign on his father’s fraudulent legacy. A law firm with deep roots in disputed territory is watching her every move. And two FBI agents arrive wearing the wrong kind of helpfulness.
