First draft
When a forensic accountant in Kilkenny notices a harmless-looking discrepancy in a dead client’s records, he finds himself pulled into a chain of missing money, local respectability and very patient violence. The deeper he looks, the more he realises the town’s neatest businesses are built on the sort of lies that survive because nobody wants to count them properly.
