Synopsis

When signal analyst Mira Voss is summoned by an anonymous note to a dead man’s apartment, she finds a 1992 radio broadcasting on a frequency that, by every official record, does not exist.

The dead man is Casimir Lund — retired engineer, solitary, officially gone from cardiac arrest. But the radio keeps broadcasting. And embedded in its signal, encoded across forty hours of transmission, is a message Casimir built before he died: a message that contains Mira’s name.

With the help of a woman in a yellow raincoat and a man who calls himself Rook, Mira begins to unravel thirty years of official silence — a secret government program called the Signal Continuity Program, built in 1988 to surveil and ultimately interfere with civilian infrastructure, then handed to a successor who kept it running long after any mandate existed. A ghost network, maintained by ghost people, collecting everything.

As colleagues vanish and the trail leads to a man the world believes has been dead for twenty years, Mira races against an eleven-day clock — the window before the archive is purged and the truth locked away forever. Because Casimir didn’t just discover the program. He found a way to end it. He simply ran out of time to do so himself.
