Tess Ledger

The Paper Trail

Accomplished Accomplice

Follow the points. Then follow the decision.

Tess treats a lineup like an evidence board. Every omission gets a pin, every explanation gets a date, and every projection gets checked against what was knowable at kickoff. She covers Accomplished Accomplice with investigative energy and a firm rule: a statistical discrepancy is a question to pursue, not a motive to invent.
