Synopsis

“Keister’s novel is a monument to monuments.”—Biblio File

“Thought provoking on many levels; the story, plot lines, characters and information.” —Nancy’s Bookshelf

On CBS SUNDAY MORNING, correspondent Rita Braver called Douglas Keister, “America’s Chief Tombstone Tourist.” SUNSET magazine said, "Keister has done for cemeteries what Audubon did for birding.”

Photographer/writer Douglas Keister (author of the best-selling “Stories in Stone” guidebooks) uses his cemetery expertise in his novel, PHAEDRA, an innovative and compelling story of one woman’s (Phaedra’s) quest for love, meaning and acceptance that takes place in the famous Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris.

PHAEDRA contains over three dozen photographs of the tombs Phaedra visits, including those of Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Sarah Bernhardt and Marcel Marceau, plus an additional seventy-page illustrated Appendix of Père-Lachaise tombs, serving as a mini-guidebook.

Twenty-year-old Phaedra has had a life punctuated with drama and insecurities. Given up for adoption, kidnapped, then unexpectedly reunited with her birth mother, she travels to Paris with a valuable secret in her purse. In Paris, she meets a handsome sculptor. Will she risk opening her heart once again and revealing her secret? Her quest to find answers begins at a place where most journeys end: a cemetery. The dead speak to Phaedra in a way no living person can. The dead may tell no tales, but their tombstones do.

Additional cemetery-themed books by Douglas Keister include his novels Autumn in Summer, Bullets, Baubles & Bones, The Sleepy Hollow Mystery, and Ember. His cemetery guidebooks include Going Out in Style, Stories in Stone, Forever Dixie, Forever L.A., Stories in Stone New York and Stories in Stone Paris.

PHAEDRA is his 48th book.
