At 2:17 a.m., Boston emergency dispatcher Lena Vale answers a 911 call from the house where she grew up. The caller uses the voice of Lena's mother, dead for twelve years, and gives her one warning: Tess is missing. The man who found their mother's body is coming back. Lena returns to Blackwater Bay and to Greywake, the storm-battered coastal house she has spent half her life avoiding. Inside, an abandoned operator board begins to ring.
Hidden recordings point toward a rescue network built for women no one else believed-and toward the respected sheriff who has controlled the town's version of the truth for thirty years. But the voices cannot all be trusted. Someone has learned to build calls from the dead, Tess is running out of time, and Lena's oldest ally has kept part of her mother's final night secret. To find her sister, Lena must do what she asks of strangers every night: stay on the line, listen past the fear, and decide which voice is trying to save her.
The Last Call from Greywake is an atmospheric coastal suspense novel about two sisters, a house wired to remember, and the danger of letting one man tell everyone's story.
