The Quiet Hours
When a Coventry freelance audiobook narrator starts hearing a second voice in the recordings she edits, she assumes it's a technical glitch. Then a missing woman from a local housing estate is linked to the same clipped phrases, and the narrator realises someone has been using her work to hide messages in plain sight. As she digs deeper, she finds the city’s neatest lies are buried in the most ordinary routines.
