โฆ Synopsis
Four old friends. An unpublished manuscript. A long-buried secret.
Jeremiah Trent works as a Seattle homicide detective. When he's contacted by a friend from his childhood, he packs his bags and heads to a mansion in remote Colorado. As he arrives at the best-selling author's home, Jerry can't shake the feeling it was a mistake visiting the people from his past.
The mystery deepens when Jay offers them a chance to read his newest manuscript, one chapter at a time. When Jerry digs in, he finds the story is their own from twenty-five years ago, only with different character names and a changed setting.
Abby, Ken, Jay, and Jerry's tale unravels, and when a body is discovered by the local Police Department, one that has been there for years, everything escalates into a shocking conclusion.
The Manuscript is a suspense thriller by Nathan Hystad, the author of Lost Contact, The Event and Lights Over Cloud Lake.
