Why It's Your Next Read

  • Methodical investigation meets claustrophobic spaceship horror
  • Trauma-hardened captain you'll root for relentlessly
  • Sharp banter cuts through suffocating tension
  • Past wounds fuel every high-stakes decision

You loved watching Eve Dallas carve through futuristic crime with grit and scars intact—now meet a salvage crew leader whose trauma-forged instincts are the only thing standing between survival and the haunted corridors of a derelict spaceship. Dead Silence trades New York's neon procedural for the suffocating isolation of deep space, but delivers that same methodical unraveling of clues, where every discovery tightens the noose and every choice carries weight.

If Eve Dallas in a haunted spaceship sounds like your next obsession, you're already late to the airlock.

The sharp banter, the subtle romantic friction cutting through horror, the heroine who won't buckle under pressure—it's all here, wrapped in speculative dread that amplifies rather than obscures the emotional core you crave.

If Eve Dallas in a haunted spaceship sounds like your next obsession, you're already late to the airlock.

What Readers Are Saying

"…I ate this book in literally one sitting because I was in the mood to be freaked out and it delivered tremendously. Truly un-put-downable in its purest sense." Chloe Gong, Goodreads
"I loved this! ... It’s a ride. I think it worked because seeing only from her perspective really adds to the believability of all that’s going on. This book does have lots of gore and graphic imagery described on page — which I loved." Jess Owens, Goodreads
"DEAD SILENCE was everything I had hoped, plus some! ... It provided an intriguing mystery as well as suspense and tons of gory action, and what more could you ask from a space horror book? Nothing! Highly recommended..." Char, Goodreads
