Publisher's Summary

‘You and I are going to have a chat. If you hang up, this girl dies.’

Adam Turner works the mid-dawn shift at his local radio station. From 12am to 6am, it’s his job to fill the airtime with old songs, inane chatter, and the occasional talkback caller. It’s a long way from his prime-time slot from over a decade ago, when he was a star in the making. Now there’s no producers, no billboards, no stakes, and, crucially, not many listeners. His frequent callers are drunk college students headed home from a night out, or long-range truck drivers. He is completely alone in the studio from midnight until dawn every night.

And then one night at 12:45am, he gets a different kind of call, with higher stakes than he could ever have wanted. The caller’s rules are simple – stay on the line, live on air, until dawn, or the woman they are holding captive will die.

The night wears on and Adam is tormented by his caller, forced to answer increasingly personal questions, exposing his fall from grace for all to hear. He must try to figure out just who is calling him, what they really want, and how he can stop them. All while staying live on air, and keeping the psycho talking.

But as the conversation gets deeper, is Adam willing to broadcast his darkest secrets to the world in order to keep a stranger safe?

Wow

Fast, short, and beautifully performed. I had sympathized with Adam at the beginning, and at some point I thought he would eat his gun…. The narrator Luke nailed it .

Solid performances!

A tense and taut thriller that leaves you guessing, and has an interesting message at the end. Lots of fun.

Great quick listen!

I liked the performances in this book- very cool that it’s a radio host and they add audio effects to make it seem like a host and a guest on the station. Story was somewhat predictable and lacked a little depth. Told my husband what the premise was about 30 mins in and he was able to guess. Very enjoyable overall, despite some predictability. Quick mystery and fun to listen to on a long drive!

Fun journey

Kept me incredibly entertained while I worked on a small one afternoon renovation. Full of mastery writing and acting!
