There are hidden messages in the music...messages that can drive a person to commit murder.
Addison is no stranger to life-and-death situations. She has seen her share of trauma as a critical care nurse, yet nothing could have prepared her for the cryptic words whispered by her John Doe patient just moments before he went into cardiac arrest. Exhausted and emotionally drained, she feels a strong pull toward his personal belongings, and with no family to claim them, she decides to take them home in search of answers. What she uncovers plunges her into a decades-old mystery of murder, deception, and secrets that point to a cult from the 1970s—a cult that believed secret messages were buried within music. Messages that compelled them to kill in exchange for wealth, power, and influence. All they had to do was play it in reverse.
Amidst navigating her dating life, Addison begins to piece together the clues, and her world is thrust into chaos. Threatening texts and ominous letters arrive from an unknown sender, and she becomes unsure of whom she can even trust.
Can Addison uncover the secrets in time? Or will she become yet another victim in the long line of sacrifices?
In this pulse-pounding mystery, the line between good and evil blurs. Perfect for fans of dark conspiracies, this novel will leave you questioning what’s real—and whom you can trust.
