The Static Between Signals
During a Cold War-era diplomatic technology summit, a courier is found dead and a microfilm cartridge is missing from a diplomatic lockbox. Four summit officials, each guarding their own professional secrets, become the primary persons of interest. An independent forensic specialist must untangle a web of falsified logs, personal panics, and systemic anomalies to isolate the single thread of intent from the surrounding noise.
