Resurrection Bay is the debut novel in the Caleb Zelic fiction series by Emma Viskic. In this series, readers get to meet the character of Caleb Zelic for the first time. Caleb has been deaf every since he was a child, and as a result, he’s always on the exterior.

Caleb lives on the outside, someone that is always keeping an eye out because he’s never truly interacting. He’s able to observe quite a bit and gets a lot of information out of body language and what people do in certain situations. He can find information in a cough or a smile or even a hug or kiss.

Everything turns upside down one day for Caleb when a friend from his childhood is murdered. Once that happens, Caleb feels a wide range of emotions about the situation. In addition to sadness and guilt, he also feels angry.

Frankie and Caleb are out to track down the killer, and their clue is the word ‘Scott’. That was what his friend texted to Caleb before he died. Could this be the person that murdered his friend? It seems that the killer is way ahead, and at least one step ahead for the entirety of the pursuit.
