The dark, hidden story of slavery is uncovered...
Close, I am close to the end. The end of a story, of a life. Under the orange light of the oil-lamp, I open my final ledger at a blank page. I trim the nib of my quill, dip it in the ink & start to write...
A bundle of scrolls is unearthed from beneath a city street. The life story of an enslaved scribe, Cato.
One piece in the jigsaw of a detective trail, which turns the lives of proud Glaswegian Hamish and Bristolian Jenny upside down. They embark on a secret quest left by Hamish's missing Grandpa, to finish his story of the origins of his beloved city, Glasgow.
The quest leads them, via Bristol, to the Caribbean, as they follow a shocking story of heartbreak and inhumanity that challenges their own identities.
What do you do when everything you believe in is turned upside down. When the story of your city is not what it seems?
