The Lonestar Deduction: The First of Mark Johnson Cases

By Matthew T. Crewse

Across eleven deeply unsettling cases, Mark Johnson-consulting detective, part-time rancher, and unwilling prophet-follows the twisted signal of a force far older than any broadcast. What begins as a clean murder in Amarillo spirals into a slow unraveling of reality itself. Haunted by strange devices, vanishing children, and a cultlike frequency known only as The Spiral, Mark uncovers a hidden world encoded in silence, memory, and echo. Each case draws him closer to a vast, intelligent transmission that rewrites thought and erases the boundaries between identity and noise. In Case File 012, Mark enters the breach itself and sacrifices everything to sever the signal-only to find the silence is alive, and waiting to speak again.
