Dead Air: The Return
A Phantom Station Mystery - Book Three
by Michael W. Hughes
The signal died. But something came back.
Claire Holland thought the nightmare was over. The broadcasts had stopped, the voices had faded, and the station had gone dark. But when the mural at the M-TRACE facility begins to shift in real time-revealing her own silhouette within a spiral that won't stop growing-Claire knows the silence is only a disguise.
Drawn once more into the hidden layers of the signal, she uncovers fragments of herself lost in the transmission, voices she was never meant to hear, and a presence that remembers everything she tried to forget. As the town of Cripple Creek warps around her and timelines fold like pages in a ruined book, Claire must follow the spiral to its source.
But not all echoes are from the past.
Some are calling her forward.
And what returns is not always what left.
