THE MISSING MINUTE

di Clara Whitmore (Autore)

Clara Whitmore, 2026

Thirteen years after her sister Iris disappeared under accusations of stealing grant money, audio producer Tess Merrick is finally close to the truth. Retired Signal House board secretary Helen Voss claims she kept the original records from the scandal and is ready to prove that the official story was wrong. But before Helen can testify, she is found dead inside a civic storage annex, her murder staged to look like an accident. The evidence points in several directions. A former station director signed the filing that branded Iris a thief. Old board members have reasons to fear the truth. Tess's own brother has removed part of the family's private Iris file. And Victor Hale, a respected civic leader, insists the past has nothing to do with him. Then Helen's pocket recorder captures one small sound that changes everything. As Tess follows original board minutes, escrow records, archived audio, and redevelopment plans, she discovers that Iris did move the disputed money without permission, but she never stole it. Someone transformed that mistake into a story of theft, disappearance, and voluntary escape. Now Tess may finally learn what happened to Iris. But solving Helen's murder means exposing a lie Northbridge has believed for thirteen years, and uncovering the truth could change Signal House, Tess's family, and the city forever.
