The Book of Names, (Paperback)

<p>Salem, Massachusetts is a town built on history. Tourists come for ghost stories, witch trials, and legends passed down through generations. For Nathan Brooks, those stories are just background noise. As editor of a struggling local newspaper, he's more concerned with shrinking subscriptions, disappearing advertisers, and keeping the paper his father loved from becoming another casualty of the digital age.</p><p>Everything changes when a renovation uncovers a hidden compartment sealed inside the newspaper's aging building.</p><p>Inside is an ancient leather-bound ledger.</p><p>At first, it appears to be nothing more than a forgotten relic. Then Nathan discovers a name written inside the book-a name belonging to a man who is still alive.</p><p>Two days later, the man is dead.</p><p>Soon another name appears.</p><p>And another.</p><p>Each entry contains details that should be impossible to know. Each death arrives exactly as foretold. As fear spreads through Salem, Nathan turns to Sarah Price, the newspaper's historian and local columnist. Together they begin unraveling a mystery that stretches back centuries, uncovering references to the same book in colonial records, church journals, and forgotten accounts written by men and women long dead.</p><p>The deeper they dig, the more unsettling the truth becomes.</p><p>The Book of Names is older than the newspaper.</p><p>Older than the town itself.</p><p>And every generation that encounters it leaves behind the same unanswered question: </p><p>Who is writing the names?</p><p>As the deaths mount and the book's attention turns closer to home, Nathan and Sarah find themselves trapped in a race against an ancient force that cannot be reasoned with, cannot be understood, and may have been recording the dead for far longer than anyone can imagine.</p><p>Because some stories are written in ink.</p><p>Others are written in blood.</p><p>And once your name appears in <strong>The Book of Names</strong>, it may already be too late.</p>
