First draft
In 1816, a quiet map-copyist from the Hampshire coast is pulled into a search for a missing surveyor whose notes may expose a smuggling route running beneath the marshes. What begins as a matter of old paper and local gossip becomes a dangerous race through tidal flats, ruined churches, and houses that know more than they should. The book follows the practical business of surviving bad weather, bad faith, and the occasional very inconvenient corpse.
