The Signal at Midnight: A Novel

A deaf signals engineer. An impossible transmission. A woman trapped in time. Eli Marsh has worked the midnight shift at the Keflavik Signal Station for eleven months - isolated, methodical, and on the verge of blowing the whistle on a dangerous encryption flaw. Then, at exactly midnight, a voice appears on a dead frequency. His own voice. Delivering a warning about a secret he has told no one. As the transmissions continue - each one more precise, more urgent - Eli discovers that the signal originates from something buried beneath the station: a classified project called RETROWAVE, a technology capable of bending signals backward through time. And somewhere inside that loop, conscious and waiting, is the scientist who built it. Eli has four days. His director is watching. The station is sealed. And the only person he can trust is the woman who was sent to report on him. The Signal at Midnight is a taut, atmospheric thriller about silence, deafness, and the courage it takes to transmit the truth when no one is supposed to be listening. "Every signal is a message. Not every message is meant for you. But some are meant for no one else."
