In the fading coastal town of Merrow's End, retired actress Vivian Hale receives an anonymous manuscript that chronicles her life with unsettling precision—including the one act she has never confessed to anyone. As chapters arrive one by one, Vivian is drawn back through the acts of her past: the triumphs on stage, the betrayals backstage, and the night everything changed. When the manuscript's final act predicts a death—possibly her own—she must unmask the writer before the curtain falls. Acts is a gripping psychological mystery and a haunting meditation on memory, guilt, performance, and the stories we tell ourselves.
