Vestiges

By Giselle Steele

Barrett Kessler has spent his life studying what time leaves behind.

Inside the foundation of a ruined coastal estate, he uncovers a handwritten manuscript from the 1940s. Its pages tell of a suspicious death, a troubled attorney, and a town called Blackmere, where the truth seems buried beneath every silence.

The longer Barrett reads, the more the past begins to feel unfinished, and the more Blackmere seems to be reaching beyond the page.

"A haunting, beautifully written mystery where every discovery feels like a warning. Vestiges is atmospheric, intelligent, and impossible to put down." Viktor Madsen, The New England Book Review

"Dark, elegant, and quietly unnerving, Vestiges pulls you into its mystery with the patience of a classic noir and the tension of a modern psychological thriller." Vivian Calder, The Commonwealth Literary Review
