The woman they buried under Anna Bell's name was never born.
Adrian Cole spent twelve years at Justice deciding whether documents were telling the truth. Now he works out of a room above a print shop in Philadelphia, and the case a retired federal prosecutor drops on his desk is eleven years cold.
Curtis Reed is serving life for beating a woman to death in a kitchen on Cambria Street. His prints are on the door frame. His phone puts him on the block. He's never once said the victim's name.
Adrian pulls the file the way he pulls every file, one page at a time. Anna Bell has a license, a lease, a bank account, a work history. She also has nothing at all before the spring of 2002, and every document she owns traces back to a single sheet of paper that shouldn't exist.
Then the dental records that identified her body turn out to have been requested two days before anybody knew she was dead.
Somebody built this woman. Somebody closed her. And the name on her headstone belongs to a woman who's still alive, working nights in Kensington, keeping seven identification cards in a cigar box on a windowsill because she's learned that a person is only as real as the paper behind her.
The people who do this work don't carry guns. They carry forms. They don't threaten, they don't raise their voices, and they never take a document out of your hand. They wait for you to set it down.
By the time Adrian understands what's been happening to his own records, he's eleven weeks into a case where the man across the table can explain, politely, in the language of retention schedules, exactly how a living person stops having been born.
Reed knows something he's kept for eleven years. He's running out of time to say it.
THE WOMAN WHO NEVER EXISTED is the first book in The Identity Files, a trilogy about the machinery that decides who gets to be a person. For readers who like their thrillers procedural, their evidence real, and their villains too quiet to shout.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
