Hey, Listen, Are You Ready?

Hey, Listen, Are You Ready? — A Thriller

At 3:17 every morning, an unknown number calls Elena Kade's phone. The same flat, unplaceable voice asks the same four words: Hey. Listen. Are you ready?

Elena is an interpreter — precise, careful, unremarkable by design. No enemies. No secrets worth a stranger's attention. No memory of that voice, ever.

But her body remembers what her mind was made to forget: a bruise with no cause, a name that isn't hers stamped inside a passport she's never seen, a flash of a training room that drags her bodily into a past she can't place.

Somewhere in nine months her memory refuses to account for, Elena Kade was someone else entirely. And that someone is about to become the only person standing between a city and a slaughter with a slogan stapled to it.

She has seventy-two hours to find out who she used to be, decide who she wants to be instead, and answer the question that voice has been asking her all along — before the wrong person answers it for her.

A tightly wound, international spy thriller about memory, identity, and the cost of being built for someone else's purpose.
