A photograph has a name on the back. The name is hers. The woman in the photograph is not.
Archivist Delia Fenn has spent her career preserving other people's histories. She knows how easily the truth can disappear inside a mislabeled box, a missing ledger, or a record nobody thinks to question.
Then she opens a forgotten collection.
Inside is a photograph of a young woman standing outside a boarding house in 1963. Written on the back are three words:
Delia Fenn - Aug. 1963
Delia knows the woman isn't her. But a search of the death records reveals something impossible: a Delia Fenn died in the same town in 1964, decades before Delia was born.
What begins as a strange archival discrepancy becomes a trail of erased records, missing pages, hidden boarding-house accounts, and a second woman named Alice Bray.
The deeper Delia digs, the more disturbing the pattern becomes. Someone didn't simply hide what happened in 1964.
Someone has been making sure the truth stays buried.
And the closer Delia gets to discovering who that someone is, the more she realizes the mystery isn't only about a dead woman.
It's about her own family.
The Name in the Photograph is an atmospheric archival mystery about forgotten identities, buried family secrets, historical records, and one woman's determination to uncover the truth-no matter what it costs.
