After market closed, banker Peter Castlemaine remained among ledgers that contradicted his public reputation for success. Loss has followed speculation, and expected money has not arrived in time. You step into this one-chapter preview with Thomas Hill at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Before the doors open again, Hill and I must decide which truth can still be told in time to save anything. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
