You thought you knew your father. You thought his final years mapping a city that didn't exist meant he'd lost his mind to obsession.

You were wrong.

Lena Vos returns to Bruges for Henrik's funeral and finds his study transformed—every wall covered in hand-drawn maps of familiar streets with impossible names, all dated 1963. When a town archivist offers half a million euros for these 'fantasies,' Lena realizes her methodical father wasn't going mad. He was documenting murder.

Sixty years ago, forty-seven families lost their homes to an engineered flood. Their property was seized, their history erased, their voices silenced. Henrik spent his final years mapping this buried injustice—and someone killed him to keep it hidden.

Now Lena must dig. Literally. Seven coordinates across medieval Bruges. Seven metal containers holding the original deeds, the witness statements, the proof that powerful families built their fortunes on theft. But the Declercq dynasty has controlled the city's archives for three generations, and they'll do anything to keep their crimes buried.

In a city where every stone remembers and every canal whispers secrets, what price will you pay to give voice to sixty years of silence?
