The Salt House Ledger
In 1871 Liverpool, a clerk at a riverside counting house finds a ledger that appears to record more than cargo and payments. When a dockside death is quietly dismissed as an accident, she starts tracing the names in the book and uncovers a chain of fraud, family secrets and a long-buried crime tied to the salt trade.
