She has fifty-eight minutes. Then it's real.
Night-shift 911 dispatcher Dee Alvarez has taken every kind of call in seventeen years on the headset. Nothing prepared her for this one: a calm voice reporting a fatal hit-and-run on Mercer Bridge - fifty-eight minutes before it happens. No body. No accident. Until there is.
Then another call. And another. Someone is phoning in the future, exactly one hour early, on an administrative line that has been dead for years. The voice is synthesized. The caller ID is her own dispatch center. And the crimes are escalating - an accident, a robbery, an arson, then a murder, with the victim named in advance.
Each call forces an impossible choice: act on knowledge no court will ever believe, or wait for people to die on schedule. Paired with a detective who trusts only data, Dee starts pulling a thread that runs straight back through her own worst night - and into the heart of her own department.
Because the only person who can hear the calls has just become the next name on the list.
A relentless, real-time crime thriller for readers who like their conspiracies grounded and their countdowns ticking. The first book in a new series.
