TANK ONE - A Florian Van Rensenbrink Mystery

Columbus, Ohio. 1840s.

A man is arrested for a minor disturbance.
Days later, he is dead.

The official account is clear.

But it is not universally accepted.

Florian Van Rensenbrink arrives in Columbus to examine what happened inside a city jail. Access is limited, witnesses are controlled, and records are incomplete.

As he works through testimony and physical evidence, differing accounts begin to emerge.

In a setting where authority shapes the narrative, uncovering the truth requires careful reconstruction.

Tank One is an historical mystery focused on institutional power, conflicting testimony, and the search for accountability.
