Echo in the Dark

In the Vandermere Republic, a decade after a campaign finance scandal left her blind and shattered, Lydia Black is the only witness to a murder that never officially happened. Summoned to testify against a powerful former senator, she is placed in a remote safe house on the eve of the trial. But when a killer cuts the power and hunts the protective detail in a storm-ravaged night, Lydia must turn her blindness into a weapon. Trapped in absolute darkness, she relies on scent, sound, and instinct to survive a relentless assassin who knows the house better than she does. Time has scrubbed the bloodstains from the past, but the terror has only festered—and now it has a voice, a smell, and a heartbeat.
