The Unquiet Dead

“A work of California Noir that combines a dark sense of humor with a fast moving plot.”

“An arresting debut novel that plants Bryce Wilson firmly in the shadows of noir fiction.”
- Hayes Brandwell, The Polemicist Post

A man commits suicide outside of a newspaper office in a small California town. Three reporters are drawn into a mystery that leads to the darkest corners of the city they thought they knew. The beaches and vineyards offer a perfect draw for tourists, but conceal a deep evil. Pitted against the most powerful man in the city, and hunted by a hit man with a sick sense of humor, the reporters' search for the truth puts those they love at risk. And the people they trust the most may be the ones who get them killed.
