The Last Person Who Called
THE LAST PERSON WHO CALLED
Book One
What if the dead never really stopped calling?
At exactly 2:17 a.m., investigative journalist Elena Cross receives a phone call from someone she buried eleven months ago.
Her younger sister, Mara, is dead.
At least, that's what Elena has been told.
The voice on the other end sounds unmistakably familiar. It carries the same pauses, the same warmth, the same quiet desperation. But the message is anything but comforting.
Don't trust the police.
Don't open the basement door.
And whatever happens, don't answer the next call.
Determined to uncover the truth, Elena follows a trail of disconnected numbers, missing women, forgotten recordings, and photographs that seem to remember things she doesn't. Every clue draws her closer to a place that should no longer exist—and to a night she has spent eleven months trying to forget.
But the deeper she investigates, the more unsettling the truth becomes.
Some voices are recordings. Some memories are lies. And some people may not be who they believe themselves to be.
Because somewhere beneath the city, a telephone is still ringing.
And the last person who called may not be the person Elena thinks it is.
Some calls should never be answered.
