Publisher's Synopsis
Nobody believed the once popular novelist George Martin could ever find success again. George was determined to prove them wrong, but two things stood in his way. First, he became blind. Second, he became dead.
His family is adamant it was suicide. Detective Inspector Cleary is not so sure. George's latest manuscript, recording stories, new ideas and-critically-conversations of the people around him, might hold the answer. Do the stories reflect a man sinking into depression or a writer in the prime of his creative life? Did George end his life in despair, believing those who said he would never again be successful, or did those around him exhibit murderous intent? Is the manuscript a simple transcription of the final weeks of a man's life, or a truth-telling voice from the grave?
Whispers in Empty Rooms is a murder mystery, a story about a man struggling to cope with losing his sight, and a testament to the power of the imagination to transform the darkest of circumstances into art.
