Falmouth, ME, November 26, 2024 --(PR.com)-- David Cheever, who has worked in a variety of industries, from public education to television production, government service to newspapers and radio reporting and editing, cultural organization leadership, and sports officiating and broadcasting, has completed his new book, “The Odd Take”: a compelling thriller set against the isolated backdrop of Monhegan Island that delves into the life of Emelia Marston, a woman whose past and future are both shrouded in secrecy and uncertainty.

“Emelia Marston is a puzzle to her family, her friends, and the police,” writes Cheever. “A mastermind of at least one crime that dramatically changes her life, she shares only what information she chooses, and she almost expects that everyone around her does the same. She knows that it is possible to keep secrets in an island community. She also knows that sometimes it is imperative.

“Mourning the loss of her husband at sea, she moves from the mainland to Monhegan Island and begins life anew. Comfortable with the artists who are seasonal residents, she also finds it easy to live with those who call the island home year-round. The arrival of three mysterious men, each seeking justice of a kind, threatens to upend her world.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, David Cheever’s chilling novel will explore themes of identity, guilt, and the moral complexities of justice as readers follow along on Emelia’s journey to keep her well-crafted life together. Expertly paced and full of suspense, “The Odd Take” is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats with each turn of the page, leading to a shocking conclusion that will leave a lasting impression long after the final page.
