The Mapmaker's Town
Caleb Mercer has spent his career proving that every place can be mapped, measured, and explained. Then his grandfather dies, leaving behind a nineteenth-century map of a mountain town called Ashcombe—and a handwritten note on the back. If you ever find Ashcombe, don't leave until you understand why. Finding it is easy. Leaving is easy too. Finding it a second time is impossible. Every map ever printed shows Ashcombe exactly where it should be. GPS will guide you there without hesitation. But once you drive away, every road back leads somewhere else.
