Dead Zone: A Crime Thriller
When a woman vanishes on a quiet mountain road with no cell service, the case is filed as an accident, another victim of isolation and bad luck. But State Trooper Daniel Mercer sees something others don’t, a pattern forming in the spaces where people wait instead of leaving.
As more roadside deaths quietly accumulate, Mercer uncovers a disturbing truth, the danger isn’t the lack of signal, it’s the reassurance that arrives before help does. A calm voice. A friendly stranger. Advice that feels reasonable, and deadly.
Dead Zone is a tense, slow-burn thriller about delay, trust, and the narrow margin between safety and catastrophe. Told with procedural precision and creeping psychological dread, it explores how modern dependence on connection can be weaponized, and how the most effective predators never have to touch their victims at all.
In places where coverage fades, waiting can be fatal.
