Waiting

Waiting is a literary psychological mystery about guilt, memory, and the choices that continue to shape a life long after the moment itself has passed. Thirty-two years after the death of Michael Ward, architect Adrian Vale returns to Greyhaven after receiving a mysterious message connected to Elena, the woman he once loved and believed lost forever. There he discovers Claire, a daughter he never knew existed, and a carefully preserved trail of letters, photographs, financial records, and fractured memories leading back to one night in 1994.

As old witnesses begin to speak and hidden evidence resurfaces, Adrian is forced to confront not only what happened when Michael fell from an abandoned warehouse platform, but what he and others chose to do in the eleven minutes that followed.

Waiting is a story of delayed truth, imperfect forgiveness, and the devastating cost of believing there will always be a better moment to act.
