Early draft
The Salt Ledger
In 1797, a disgraced customs clerk in Swansea discovers a ledger that records more than cargo: it points to a network of smuggling, bribery and a vanished ship tied to his own missing brother. As he follows the trail along the south Wales coast, he is forced to choose between clearing his name and exposing people who depend on the trade to survive.
