The Black Ledger
In 1890s Limerick, a clerk in a flour merchant's office finds a ledger that should not exist, filled with payments, names, and one missing page that points to a long-buried death. As she follows the paper trail through warehouses, tenements, and respectable drawing rooms, she learns that the city remembers what its owners would rather forget.
