The Dead Air
THE TRUTH HAS A RHYTHM. AND KIT GABLE JUST HEARD A GLITCH.
To the police, the 911 call is just the tragic final gasp of a dying tech billionaire. To Kit Gable, it is a mathematical impossibility.
As a forensic audio archivist with a sensory processing disorder, Kit lives her life in high fidelity. She knows the hum of every server blade in London and the precise decibel level of a lie. So when she analyzes the death of Marcus Sterling, she doesn't hear a heart attack. She hears a loop. A breath pattern that repeats every 0.8 seconds with zero deviation.
It isn't a man dying. It's a playlist.
The police have a suspect: Orson Foley. A disgraced voice actor and legendary mimic known as "The Man with a Thousand Throats." He is chaotic, loud, and a professional deceiver-everything Kit's ordered mind detests.
But when Orson breaks into her soundproof sanctuary, he offers her a terrified truth: he didn't kill Marcus Sterling. He's being framed by a "Sound Cult" that is harvesting the voices of the elite to create the ultimate digital camouflage.
Now, Kit must do the one thing her brain screams against: leave her controlled environment and step into the noise.
Forced to partner with the one man whose voice she cannot trust, Kit must track a signal through the Scottish Highlands before the killer hits play on their next victim.
The world is full of noise. But only Kit Gable can hear the dead air.
