▬▬▬in which Melissa Ling uncovers a decades-old betrayal amongst the dusty files of her detective office.

THE YEAR IS 1997. Muggle detective Melissa Ling has been pulling all-nighters as often as she can during the past few weeks: strange reports of seemingly-healthy girls winding up dead in their beds have increased tenfold since September. There's no foul play, no history of violent exes or wronged friends. Most frustrating of all, there is not a single suspect to all of these murder cases. In fact, it appears very much like these victims simply decided to stop living. The only lead she has is that a similar string of inexplicable murders occurred nearly twenty years before. In her efforts to pin down the guilty party, she pulls out dusty files that have long since been forgotten, the victims' cases from the 1970s (and earlier) deemed unsolvable. Her only hope in preventing more girls from joining their forebearers is that the answer lies somewhere amongst these cases lost to obscurity.

LILLIAN JONES IS STILL ALIVE AND KICKING, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Well, maybe not so much that first part, but her grudge against her killer has kept her from passing on. In her esteemed opinion, eternal peace is overrated; she'd much rather bring hellfire down on the man who is egotistical enough to call himself 'lord'― especially when he's also her psychopathic ex. Once upon a time, Tom Riddle had promised her that they'd take over the world together: the two orphans who'd pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to charm the pants off of the whole of Hogwarts. (Look where that had gotten her― six feet under while Riddle got fed with a silver spoon. Sure, there was a little hiccup because of that nasty business with the baby (she'd never let him live that down; he'd gotten so stupid because of magic), but he was still much better off than she was.)
