The Burning Library, by Gilly Macmillan | Free Audiobook

A manuscript worth killing for

When Dr Anya Brown is recruited to the Institute of Manuscript Studies in St Andrews, it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. Her expertise in ancient texts has always been her refuge, and her new role promises prestige, resources, and access few scholars ever see.

But Anya steps into a quiet war. Two rival groups have spent generations chasing a fragment of medieval embroidery that could lead them to a missing manuscript, and they do not play by academic rules. The closer Anya gets to the truth, the more she senses that she is being used.

As a body is found on Scotland’s western shore and the investigation pulls new threads, Anya is forced to decipher messages hidden in plain sight before she becomes the next casualty. In a place built on learning, obsession burns hottest.
