Dead Air is a gripping literary techno-thriller about listening, loss, and the dangerous comfort of certainty.
When a missing persons hotline begins receiving calls from people officially declared dead, crisis counselor Mara Ellison discovers the voices know intimate details no record should contain. As the calls multiply, Mara uncovers Dead Air-a secret surveillance project designed to predict disappearances before they happen, using the voices of the deceased as its most reliable data.
What begins as a miracle of prevention becomes something far more unsettling. The system doesn't just forecast tragedy-it quietly decides which lives are worth saving.
As Mara confronts the ethics of predictive technology, institutional denial, and the cost of listening without guarantees, Dead Air asks urgent questions about artificial intelligence, surveillance, grief, and the human need to be heard. Atmospheric, emotionally precise, and deeply unsettling, this novel blends psychological suspense with literary depth, perfect for readers of speculative fiction, near-future thrillers, and character-driven dramas.
Dead Air is a haunting exploration of silence, responsibility, and what remains when we stop letting systems speak for us.
