First draft
The Salt Ledger
In post-Napoleonic Gloucester, a widow who keeps accounts for a struggling wharf house discovers that a missing ledger is more than an inconvenience. It points to unpaid debts, altered cargo records and a quiet arrangement that could ruin the men who depend on the river for their livelihoods. As she follows the paper trail, she has to decide whether honesty will save the business or sink everyone tied to it.
