Brent Wallace has built a career on other people’s nightmares. As a true-crime podcaster, he’s an expert at editing the truth into a hit series. But when an anonymous file appears on his desk, the voice on the recording is his own—confessing to a cold case from his childhood that he’s spent twenty years erasing.
Now, Brent is back in his hometown, caught between a wary childhood friend and a clinical psychologist who knows exactly how to manipulate a narrative. In a world where audio can be faked and memory is just another track to be edited, Brent must discover who is sending him "future" recordings before the static swallows him whole.
Noah Shelton writes psychological thrillers where the real danger isn’t a stranger in the dark—it’s the story you tell yourself to survive. With a sharp eye for manipulation, misdirection, and moral grey areas, his books pull listeners into tense, intimate worlds where every clue raises a new doubt and every decision carries a hidden cost. Expect clean, propulsive pacing, twist-forward plots, and characters who feel uncomfortably real—right up to the final reveal.View all by Noah Shelton
