Echoes in the Walls She Hears Tomorrow's Crimes.
"The walls are communicating. And they're saying you're going to pass away."
Amber Hayes had it everything six months ago: a successful career as an investigative journalist, a fiancé from one of the most influential families in San Francisco, and a Pulitzer candidacy that would solidify her reputation. Then followed the litigation that left her bankrupt and on a blacklist, the exposé she should never have written, and the betrayal that ruined her career.
She now lives in a dilapidated apartment in the Mission District as a disgraced nobody, subsisting on freelance gossip pieces that murder her soul but pay the rent. Her former best friend was married to her ex-fiance. She can't get her own parents to answer the phone. With the exception of her younger sister Lily, whose cancer treatments deplete Amber's meager funds, she has lost everything.
The voices then begin.
At precisely 3:47 AM, she hears whispers about murders, thefts, and conspiracies that haven't yet occurred. At first, she believes she is going crazy. However, Amber discovers the impossibility: she is somehow hearing criminals plotting murders before they happen when a CEO is discovered dead just as the voices had prophesied.
Amber begins recording the forecasts in an attempt to save her job and show that she is not crazy. However, she gets apprehended at the crime scene when she attempts to stop a murder, and the guy who does so is Dante Cross, the vicious wealthy prosecutor she publicly disparaged in her previous piece. The man who vowed to see her destroyed. The man whose touch continues to haunt her nightmares.
She is offered a devil's bargain by Dante: either use her "gift" to assist him in apprehending a serial killer who is frightening the city's elite, or be charged as an accomplice. Amber learns three terrible truths when she is forced to interact with the cold, domineering man who ought to be her enemy: the crimes she is hearing are linked to the conspiracy that ruined her career; her ex-fiance and former best friend are involved in a trafficking ring that uses tech company resources; and Dante never intended to destroy her—rather, he was attempting to protect her from a truth that would have killed her.
Amber must choose between continuing to be the victim she has become and embracing the deadly power that might cost her everything, including the man she is falling for despite all the reasons not to, as the voices get louder and the killer's pattern becomes apparent.
The walls are communicating. And only one name is being shouted: hers.
