The Salt House at Kinghorn
In a Fife coastal town in the 1890s, a widow takes work keeping accounts for a small salt house after her husband’s death leaves her with debts and a house she can no longer afford to keep. When she discovers that the business is tied to a quiet act of fraud that has protected several local families for years, she must decide whether to preserve the arrangement or expose it and risk ruining the only life she has left.
