Last VOICEMAIL

THE LAST VOICEMAILCharleston, South Carolina. 1979.Jack Sullivan is twenty-nine years old, running boats, dodging gas lines, trying to keep his head above water, and living in a South already boiling under heat, hurricanes, old money, and secrets nobody wants dug up.Then his answering machine records a message that should be impossible.A woman is crying.She says her name is Emma Sullivan.She says Jack is her father.There is only one problem.Emma won't be born for years.And she is calling from 2009.Her warning is simple:Someone is going to kill her—and Jack has only days to stop it.The message pulls Jack into a conspiracy buried beneath Charleston for decades, one involving six powerful families, a forgotten military communications experiment, stolen information from the future, and a machine hidden beneath an old church that may be capable of rewriting history itself.Then people start dying.A man is found murdered inside a miniature-golf cave in Murrells Inlet.A contact on Myrtle Beach is killed during a crowded afternoon while an advertising plane circles overhead.Cars appear with switched license plates.Boats vanish into the marsh.Colombian traffickers begin moving through the Lowcountry.Jack and Sarah Vale—his brilliant, fearless first love—find themselves chased through dark tidal creeks, abandoned marinas, crowded beach towns, and Charleston streets where the oldest families in the city seem to know exactly what will happen before it happens.And someone always seems to be one step ahead.As gasoline shortages tighten their grip on South Carolina, CB radios crackle with warnings, payphones become lifelines, and Hurricane David begins moving toward the coast.But the approaching storm is more than a natural disaster.Somebody has been waiting for it.The combination of storm surge, saltwater, lightning, and the flooded chambers beneath St. Mercy's Church could create the strongest transmission window ever recorded.Enough to send decades of information backward through time.Stock markets.Political events.Wars.Technology.Deaths.The future itself.And if Jack cannot stop it, thousands may die.Worse, the daughter who hasn't even been born yet may disappear forever.With a ruthless Charleston dynasty closing in, a killer hunting him across the Lowcountry, cartel money moving behind the scenes, and the biggest storm of the season bearing down on the city, Jack has one chance to decide what matters more:Saving the future…or saving the people he loves.The Last Voicemail is a fast-moving Southern conspiracy thriller packed with boats, storms, murder, dark humor, old Charleston secrets, 1970s culture, time-bending suspense, and a father-daughter mystery unlike anything Jack Sullivan ever imagined.Because sometimes the most terrifying message isn't from the dead.Sometimes it comes from someone who hasn't been born yet.
