Chapter 3 - The LedgerThree nights earlier, Chloe had discovered the ledger.
It had been hidden inside a false compartment in her missing uncle David's home office.
She had found it while searching for him.
Adults had told her David's death was an accident.
A boating accident.
A tragic mistake.
But Chloe had never believed them.
The ledger contained offshore accounts, coded payments, names of politicians, shipping records, and transactions marked with the initials E.V.
Eleanor Vance.
At the bottom of the final page, David had written one sentence.
If anything happens to me, do not trust the memorial.
Chloe had read those words again and again.
She had wanted to tell the police.
But David had warned her that the Vance family had influence everywhere.
So Chloe made another plan.
