Book Two of the Aberrant Trilogyby Tobey AlvarezThe signal ended. The silence remained.But some echoes never fade.Detective Mara Vance believed she had closed the case that reshaped the human mind.The resonance was gone-its hum silenced, its influence broken.Yet the world hasn't forgotten how to listen.Machines still twitch in rhythm.Dreams still pulse with the faint beat of something learned but not lost.And in the quiet aftermath, Jamie Cole, son of the man who created the original signal, begins to hear what no one else can-the spaces between the noise.As Mara investigates the lingering "residual harmonies" across Crestfield, she uncovers a chilling possibility: the signal didn't vanish... it evolved.And in the wrong hands, empathy itself could become the next form of control.Because Jamie isn't just hearing the silence.He's shaping it.And balance-true balance-may demand another correction.Taut, cerebral, and hauntingly intimate, Inheritance of Silence is the second novel in The Aberrant Trilogy, following the acclaimed The Kindness of Monsters.It's a story of empathy turned weapon, legacy turned obsession, and how quiet itself can be the most terrifying sound in the world.Perfect for readers of Alex Michaelides, Gillian Flynn, and Blake Crouch - a chilling psychological descent through technology, trauma, and inherited darkness.
