Bend. Margaret Swanson Novella, #1

A news anchor freezes on live television. Nine seconds of silence. A string of numbers. Then nothing. Margaret Swanson knows a signal when she hears one. She was built to. The trigger is real, it's buried in broadcasts across the country, and it's about to go wide. Margaret has one move: walk back into the studio lights and use the weapon they made her to be. Some signals aren't meant to be heard.
They're meant to be obeyed.
