Description
Caleb Zelic, profoundly deaf since early childhood, has always lived on the outside – watching, picking up telltale signs people hide in a smile, a cough, a kiss. When a childhood friend is murdered, a sense of guilt and a determination to prove his own innocence sends Caleb on a hunt for the killer. But he can’t do it alone. Caleb and his troubled friend Frankie, an ex-cop, start with one clue: Scott, the last word the murder victim texted to Caleb. But Scott is always one step ahead.
This gripping, original and fast-paced crime thriller is set between a big city and a small coastal town, Resurrection Bay, where Caleb is forced to confront painful memories. Caleb is a memorable protagonist who refuses to let his deafness limit his opportunities, or his participation in the investigation. But does his persistence border on stubbornness? And at what cost? As he delves deeper into the investigation Caleb uncovers unwelcome truths about his murdered friend – and himself.
Advance Praise
Viskic’s novel is a fine example of modern noir, a dark tale of crime, betrayals, secrets and bad decisions. Caleb is a compelling protagonist, equal parts tenacious, observant, proud and stubborn, but never unsympathetic … a compelling, highly recommended read. – BOOKS+PUBLISHING
The characterisation, dialogue and plotting are on par with some of the heavyweights of crime writing. The ending is truly unexpected — always a plus in murder mysteries.” -- Thuy On, The Age/SMH
“In Resurrection Bay, Emma Viskic plots like a pro and with Caleb Zelic, her lip-reading PI who doesn’t know how to take a backward step, Viskic has created a genuinely unique and captivating character who deserves a place alongside Jack Irish and Cliff Hardy. Caleb's investigation into his best mate's murder tests bonds of friendship, loyalty and love before delivering a final gut-wrenching punch. This is well-paced, intelligent storytelling and Viskic nails the three Ps of crime fiction – plot, place, and people you believe in and care about.”— P.M. Newton
