Some debts are paid in blood. Some truths are buried deeper than the dead.
Caleb Porter takes pride in his work. As groundskeeper at Marrowvale Cemetery, he tends to the forgotten, converses with the silent, and maintains a sacred order that the living have long abandoned. It's a humble life - but it's his.
When local accountant David McKnight is murdered and laid to rest at Marrowvale, Caleb makes a quiet promise to the man's grieving daughter: he will find the killer and deliver justice.
The only problem is the answer has been there all along - buried somewhere Caleb cannot reach. Beneath the medication. Beneath the routine. Beneath the carefully constructed world of a man whose grip on reality is far more fragile than the headstones he polishes every morning.
The Keeper's Debt is a psychological thriller about memory, guilt, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive the truth - told by the one man you should never trust to tell it.
