Podcaster Amber Harkenson has made a career out of solving cold cases, giving a voice to the forgotten dead. But her latest subject is different. For her hit show Unsolved Echoes, she has chosen the decade-old disappearance of Lily Albright, a young woman who vanished from the small coastal town of Havenwood without a trace. The case is a perfect mystery-until Amber's investigation becomes the story.
It begins with a cryptic comment on her podcast forum. Then an anonymous voicemail arrives in the dead of night. The unseen speaker knows the details of the case that haven't been released to the public. They know about the boathouse on Old Dock Road, about the tide the night Lily vanished. And they know about Amber's own private tragedy, a loss she has never spoken of on air.
As the messages grow more personal and threatening, Amber finds herself trapped in a sophisticated and terrifying game of cat and mouse. Someone is using her own investigation to send her a message, and every clue she uncovers about Lily's past seems to be a twisted mirror reflecting her own. Desperate and unmoored, she must race to understand the connection between a ten-year-old mystery and the secrets of her own life before the game comes to a deadly end.
The Listener's Game is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the dark side of true crime obsession, the weight of buried grief, and the terrifying question: what happens when the hunter becomes the hunted?
