Dead Air

THE TRUTH HAS A RHYTHM. AND KIT GABLE JUST HEARD A GLITCH.To the police, the 911 call is just the tragic final gasp of a dying tech billionaire. To Kit Gable, it is a mathematical impossibility.As a forensic audio archivist with a sensory processing disorder, Kit lives her life in high fidelity. She knows the hum of every server blade in London and the precise decibel level of a lie. So when she analyzes the death of Marcus Sterling, she doesn't hear a heart attack. She hears a loop. A breath pattern that repeats every 0.8 seconds with zero deviation.It isn't a man dying. It's a playlist.The police have a suspect: Orson Foley. A disgraced voice actor and legendary mimic known as "e;The Man with a Thousand Throats."e; He is chaotic, loud, and a professional deceiver—everything Kit's ordered mind detests.But when Orson breaks into her soundproof sanctuary, he offers her a terrified truth: he didn't kill Marcus Sterling. He's being framed by a "e;Sound Cult"e; that is harvesting the voices of the elite to create the ultimate digital camouflage.Now, Kit must do the one thing her brain screams against: leave her controlled environment and step into the noise.Forced to partner with the one man whose voice she cannot trust, Kit must track a signal through the Scottish Highlands before the killer hits play on their next victim.The world is full of noise. But only Kit Gable can hear the dead air.
