Dead Hand’s latest message hits too close to home for Kate and forces Greg to make a choice.

A contemporary thriller set in Northern Ireland written by Stuart Drennan.

Greg is the host of a true crime podcast dedicated to uncovering the identity of a serial killer, last active over 20 years ago, known only as Dead Hand.

A killer named after a mysterious radio transmission which has been broadcasting an indecipherable code in the years since Dead Hand vanished. A code told in the voices of Dead Hand’s victims; including Greg’s missing father. However, when a new voice is added to the code, Greg realises that Dead Hand is active again.

With time already running out, can he finally crack the code and catch the killer?
