The Ledger Room
In late Victorian Chester, a clerk in a failing shipping office discovers that the tidy accounts he has spent years keeping are hiding a slow fraud that reaches into the lives of dock workers, widows and small traders. As he tries to decide whether to expose it, he is forced to reckon with loyalty, class and the cost of staying useful to people who prefer silence.
