About this audiobook
She buried the secret. The signal found her anyway.
She left the intelligence world with two things: a classified secret she was never meant to keep, and the ghost of a man she couldn’t save.
For three years, former NSA signals analyst Mara Kade has lived off-grid, listening to the silence of a Vermont winter and trying to forget what she knows. Then a transmission arrives on a frequency only two people in the world would recognize — in a cipher that can’t exist without Danny Rourke. Danny, who was declared dead. Danny, who was her responsibility.
He’s alive. He’s compromised. And he’s running out of time.
What Mara uncovers pulls her back into the architecture of a program she helped build — DEAD CHANNEL, a psychoacoustic conditioning system now sold to foreign governments, media conglomerates, and political operatives. Its architect is days from becoming the most powerful intelligence official in America.
She has one window. One chance to reach the people who can still stop it.
