The Orchard Ledger

After her aunt Ruth’s death, records conservator Mara Finch receives a brass key, a photograph, and a cryptic warning about the Hollis Orchard.

With the property about to be sold, Mara discovers forged signatures, impossible harvest entries, and evidence that someone stole far more than fruit. To uncover the truth, she must follow a paper trail through decades of deception before the last evidence disappears.
