First draft
The House at Blackwater Quay
When Mara Vale inherits a decaying house on the Dublin coast, she expects damp walls, legal complications, and little else. Instead, she finds a ledger of names scratched out in the same hand over and over, and a silence in the house that seems to be waiting for her to make a mistake. The building is not simply old; it appears to remember everyone who has tried to live in it.
