The Iron Ledger

About this book

In contemporary Sheffield, twenty-three-year-old night-shift machinist Riley Hargreaves unearths a locked steel trunk after her father's suspicious death. The trunk contains the dark secrets of her 1840s ancestor, Eliza Hargreaves, who disguised herself as a man to build a hidden twenty-million-pound fortune. Thrust into a vicious class war against a cabal of elite trust-fund heirs desperate to hide their ancestors' historical crimes, Riley faces off against Felix Warrington, a ruthless venture capitalist and rival claimant. As their bitter rivalry morphs into a passionate, high-stakes romance, Riley must battle her own family's violent sabotage, survive a deadly gala assassination attempt, and weaponize forensic history in a final courtroom showdown to claim her legacy and revive the working-class foundries.
