Mystery entwined with shock jock's on-air silence.
If you're drawn to thrilling mysteries steeped in media culture, "Dead Air" hits that perfect frequency. The book pulls you into the high-stakes world of a radio show host whose sudden silence on-air is as intriguing as it is ominous. It's a multi-layered narrative that promises to grip you with suspense and keep you guessing till the end. Such a premise isn't just about the whodunnit; it's a dive into the chaotic wavelengths behind the façade of radio shows.
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
