TALES FROM NOWHERE

For six years Abigail Jimenez Fleming has heard every cell tower, Wi-Fi router and power line in America humming through her fillings. It cost her a badge, a partner and her whole life in Las Cruces. Then she drives into the National Radio Quiet Zone in the mountains of West Virginia, and the hum stops.

The little town of Nowhere gives her a cabin, a salary and a job writing tickets for illegal microwaves. All she has to do is stay. But two YouTubers just vanished off Route 28. The sign at the edge of town has said POP. 247 for a hundred years, because somebody keeps painting it back. And every Halloween, somebody in Nowhere walks off into the mountains, and the county calls it exposure.

Abigail starts asking questions with Benji Margolis, who runs the video store and has kept his porch light burning for seven years for a father who never came home. The answers are in the woods, under the hill and in the ledger of the old man who owns the town.

The town has thirty days until Halloween. So does she.

It's a paranormal mystery about a found family, a ticket book, and the things that live where the signals can't reach.
