The Farside Fence Run
≈ 4 min
After the fourth race at Dunmarrow, stable hand Conal Feeney was found inside the locked weighing room with the day's purse ledger missing. Feeney himself was gone by the time stewards arrived — but the route he took out of the enclosure was not. Investigator Áine Mulcahy has been asked to reconstruct, in order, the six stages of Feeney's getaway from the evidence left along the way. She must work from mud traces, paper fragments, and biological signs alone — no witness account is reliable.
