Bristol, 1887. Board of Trade inspector Sarah Croft arrives to investigate an impossible duplicate countersign in the harbour ledgers. She already knows how it was made: three nights earlier, she traced Clerk Elias Thorne's signature herself to force an audit of Captain Silas Vane's protected cargo route—the route named in her father's final private dossier. The forgery opens the books, but it also endangers an innocent clerk and gives Harbour Master William Graves grounds to bury every discovery as tainted. Across eight episodes, Sarah investigates the crime she committed, assembles a lawful case from evidence independent of it, and decides whether exposing the ring requires exposing herself.

Ler um trecho

Bristol, the fourteenth of March, 1887. Board of Trade inspector Sarah Croft has come to audit the harbour's cargo books, and before the day is out a junior clerk finds what no one can explain: the same countersign, stroke for stroke, on two different entries. By Board rule a duplicate forces a sealed audit of the whole binding. Only Sarah knows whose hand really made it.

O mundo

Bristol Harbour, 1887

Bristol Harbour, 1887: cargo legitimacy is made from ink, witness, weight, and institutional reputation. Sarah Croft has already violated that system to force it to examine itself. The evidence must remain period-grounded—pressure marks, iron-gall and carbon inks, watermarks, binding order, custody, tide tables, and sworn testimony; no ultraviolet lamps or modern forensic shortcuts exist.
