The Library of Last Words

Every book in the town library now contains one additional page—the last words of someone who died while reading it. Some are poignant, others cryptic, a few accusatory. Families demand the pages be removed. Detectives see evidence. The librarian insists the dead deserve to be heard. Choose what stays, what burns, and whether one ghost is using the books to point at their killer.
