What if your phone warned you about a crime... before it happened?
Seventeen-year-old Rowan Hayes expects an ordinary Tuesday at Blackwood High. Instead, a forgotten phone hidden inside Locker 214 changes everything.
The cracked black device has no signal.
No SIM card.
No owner.
Yet one terrifying message types itself across the screen.
Someone will disappear tonight.
11:47 PM.
Don't ignore this.
Hours later, the prediction comes true.
Another warning arrives.
Then another.
Each message reveals a tragedy before it happens, forcing Rowan into an impossible race against time. Every life saved brings more questions, more danger, and more suspicion. Soon the police believe Rowan knows far more than anyone should, classmates begin to pull away, and someone hidden in the shadows is watching every move.
As Blackwood's buried secrets begin to surface, Rowan discovers that the mysterious messages aren't random-they're connected to a decades-old conspiracy, missing evidence, and a truth powerful enough to destroy the town forever.
With the clock ticking toward midnight, Rowan must decide whether to trust the impossible or walk away before becoming the next victim.
Perfect for readers who love fast-paced YA thrillers, psychological suspense, mysterious small towns, secret conspiracies, and page-turning stories filled with shocking twists, hidden clues, and unforgettable endings.
Some secrets stay buried.
Others send a message first.
