Altered Blood at the Embarkation Hall
≈ 6 min
The annual Moorfield Bloodstock Dispersal Sale is held every July in the Cunard Embarkation Hall. The sale catalogue relies on the stud farm's official breeding ledger, which was brought to the venue by the farm's record-keeper for pre-auction verification. During routine inspection this morning, the auctioneer's clerk noticed that several entries in the ledger appeared altered. Your task is to profile the behaviour of whoever made those alterations — not to identify them by name.
