Mara photographs every page with her phone, then drives straight to the police station. She tells the desk officer she found evidence of fraud in her dead father's shop. The officer takes the book, nods politely, and disappears into a back room. Twenty minutes pass. When he returns, he isn't alone.
The officer returns with a detective who's been chasing this case for years. "Your father wasn't a forger," she explains. "He was our informant.
