The Last Ledger of Carrickfergus
In 1890s Ulster, a quiet clerk in the harbour town of Carrickfergus discovers that a missing customs ledger has been used to hide more than smuggling accounts. As he follows the paper trail through warehouses, parish records and private grief, he finds that everyone involved has a reason to keep the past buried.
