The Salt Archive
Liverpool, 1891. When a clerk in the docks office disappears and leaves behind a ledger full of erased names, a widowed map copyist is drawn into a quiet conspiracy built on shipping records, false identities and old debts. As she follows the paper trail through warehouses, chapels and counting houses, she finds the city has been hiding more than cargo.
