The Salt Ledger
In 1848 Exeter, a widowed clerk at the city’s old customs records office discovers that a routine ledger has been quietly altered, and the missing figures point to a smuggling network tied to the quays and the cathedral close. As he follows the discrepancy, he is forced to choose between keeping his position and exposing the people who depend on the deception.
