About this novel
A warning breaks into Covo Dain's late-night radio show in the unmistakable cadence of a man dead for four years. The route it names has already been linked to a disappearance.
Following the signal to Calder's Reach brings Covo to Hessa Quill, the engineer who approved a consequential isolation inside an abandoned relay network. Now its cabinets are warming again, records are missing, and voices that should not exist are reaching the air.
Their investigation draws an audience. Covo's gift for making strangers feel heard can become a trespass when private lives turn into public evidence. As suspicion gives way to attraction, Covo and Hessa must decide whether they can trust each other with truths neither can control once spoken, and discover who has the right to listen.
