In a quiet parish where stone remembers everything, Maeve unsure of belief finds safety in the one man sworn to renounce it.
This story remains faithful to the characters and narrative established in the film, carrying forward their defining traits and conflicts. Into this fragile equilibrium enters Maeve; a new presence, walking on thin ice, whose quiet doubts and choices begin to fracture what was meant to remain sealed.
Author's Note
The first two chapters are deliberately slow and atmospheric, meant to establish the setting and emotional undercurrents of the story. (Might seem dry and nothing really happens there, so I made them as short as possible). The main plot begins to take shape from Chapter Three onward.
Based on the film Wake Up Dead Man: A Knive Out Mystery.
