The Tithe Collector's Silence

In the fog-laced diocese of Carrowford, devout widow Evelyn Chapman discovers that the religious welfare fund she entrusted with her disabled husband’s future is a meticulously engineered fraud. As she prepares to litigate against the Sacred Recompense Board, Evelyn unearths a conspiracy where faith is auctioned and mercy is priced. Sophie Hannah-style psychological unease saturates this story of a woman who transforms from a believer into an instrument of reckoning, proving that money is the age’s truest creed and the cheapest epitaph.
