An Excerpt from The Echo in the WallsShe scrolled forward.3:47 PM: Motion detected. Person detected.Her breath hitched.It wasn't a porch pirate. It wasn't anyone she knew.The man who approached her front door was unnervingly average. He wore a simple grey jacket, jeans, and nondescript sneakers. No logos, no distinguishing features. He could have been a utilities worker, a lost tourist, anyone. But he didn't move like a lost tourist. He moved with a quiet, fluid confidence that set every one of Maya's long-dormant alarms screaming.He didn't knock. He didn't try the handle. He stopped at the door, his face turned slightly away from the camera, and reached into his pocket. He pulled out not a key, but a thin, white plastic card. He swiped it over the electronic lock.The lock, a top-of-the-line magnetic system she'd installed herself, chirped softly. The light turned from red to green.The man paused. For a fraction of a second, he turned his head and looked directly at the doorbell camera. It wasn't a glance. It was a look of acknowledgment. A faint, knowing smile touched his lips, a look that said, I see you. I know you're watching.Then, he opened her door, stepped inside, and closed it behind him. The Echo in the Walls is a relentless, fast-paced thriller that explores the dark side of technology and the unshakeable grip of the past. With surprising twists and a protagonist who is as brilliant as she is broken, this novel will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final, shocking conclusion.
