When the city sleeps, someone is listening.
Late-night radio host Mason Lee thought he understood silence. It filled the gaps between songs, between callers, between the life he lived on air and the one he abandoned off it. But when a chilling voice breaks through the static-broadcasting details only a killer could know-the silence becomes a threat.
As bodies surface along the river and coded tones seep into his show's signal, Mason realizes the transmissions aren't random. They're messages. Each broadcast is a trap set to test him-and every wrong word could cost another life. With his daughter Lily missing and the police chasing echoes, Mason turns to Erin, an audio engineer whose brilliance hides a past she'd rather forget. Together they trace the noise back through old transmitters, abandoned cold-storage plants, and a hidden network built to weaponize sound.
The closer they get, the more personal the messages become. Each clue drags Mason deeper into a broadcast war where truth is measured in decibels, and silence may be the only safe frequency left.
In the end, the only way to stop the voice is to go live.
DEAD AIR is a haunting psychological thriller that blends technology, grief, and obsession into a tense exploration of what happens when the thing you love most-communication-turns against you. Perfect for readers of Dean Koontz, Freida McFadden, and James Rollins, it delivers a pulse-pounding mystery grounded in humanity, hope, and the thin line between signal and noise.
