Booksellers Notes
We liked how it treats certainty as suspicious, and how it keeps turning the spotlight back on the people watching.
Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
In a Scottish seaside town, an amateur film-maker named Lisa Lee disappears, and the quiet absence becomes a loud spectacle. Journalists Anna and Fin are pulled into the centre of an online hunt, where every detail is picked over and turned into certainty.
Yet the story refuses to settle. Lisa may not be the helpless figure the crowd has chosen. In the last film she made, she breaks into an abandoned château in France and finds a Roman silver casket, sealed up like a secret. The next day, it appears in a Paris auction catalogue with a reserve price of fifty million euros, and a description that threatens to unsettle a major world religion.
As attention sharpens into obsession, Anna and Fin are left to follow a trail of images, guesses, and sudden facts, never knowing who is shaping the narrative, or why Lisa chose to vanish.
