THE AUTHENTICATOR
Nora Quinn has spent eleven years in a basement lab catching liars who have been dead for a hundred years. She has never met one who might still be alive.
When a client brings her a box of forty-one letters, signed by a woman who supposedly drowned in 1968, Nora expects the usual: a hopeful forgery, a sentimental fake, an easy answer. Instead she finds paper that's right. Ink that's right. A hand that never wavers.
And one word, buried in a sentence about roses, that shouldn't exist yet.
The deeper Nora tests the letters, the less they behave like a hoax and the more they behave like a woman who spent forty years making sure no one ever found her — until now. Every fiber, every watermark, every trace of ink pulls Nora further from her lab and closer to a name written in pencil and rubbed almost to nothing: two initials her own father has been keeping locked away for twenty-two years.
Some documents tell you what happened. This one is about to tell Nora what her family has been hiding.
A novel about the lies we authenticate and the ones we live inside.
Perfect for readers of Kate Morton, Ruth Ware, and Anthony Doerr. A novel where the past never stays as buried as everyone needs it to be.
