Situation
Magistrate Aldrich Voss is famed for swift justice; until condemned highwayman Marcus Thorne claims the magistrate has been selling executions and pardons for years. At dawn, Thorne hangs. He swears he can prove his innocence, if someone finds the ledgers hidden in Voss’s chambers. But forged travel papers, just discovered in Thorne’s cell, brand him either the realm’s most dangerous con artist… or its most convenient scapegoat. The crowd gathers, split between cheers and jeers. By sunrise, one man swings; yet neither may deserve the rope.
