About DEAD AIR: A Creature Horror Thriller (Last Dispatch Series)

Some signals were never meant to go dark. For twelve years, they buried what crawled out of the labs. Then the first manhole cover blew off a street in Southeast DC - and the capital became a hunting ground. Journalist Ivan Gomez has 847,000 people watching his livestream and nothing left to lose. When a tunnel camera captures something that shouldn't exist moving through the Metro, he knows the official story is a lie. Two apex predators are loose beneath Washington. One stalks the limestone seam toward the Capitol. The other waits in the water. And the people who engineered them would rather let a city die than admit they exist. To survive, Ivan needs the two people the government doesn't know about: Ariana, a tracker who reads danger through the soles of her boots, and a twelve-year-old girl who has lived in the storm drains for four months and mapped every creature in the dark. They have one shutdown protocol, a ninety-three percent chance it works, and a clock counting down to the moment the colonies wake from coast to coast. Ivan can broadcast the truth. He just has to live long enough to file it. DEAD AIR is the explosive third novel in the Last Dispatch series. The record will be complete. Read it before the signal cuts out. Can be read as a standalone thriller.
