The inquest records how they died. The probate file records what they owned. Nell Bardsley reads both — and they never agree.
A house shut up for the better part of a year since its owner's quiet death; the inquest returned misadventure and the paperwork is immaculate. But probate valuer Nell Bardsley finds the house packed for a journey no one ever took — and one room cleared by somebody else before she arrived. Nell values the dead: she reads a life from what it owned, its provenance, its wear and its dates. Here the objects will not agree with the verdict — and only one of them can be telling the truth.
