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An unpublished manuscript.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 25 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 The Event and Lights over Cloud Lake.
