Hello, Transcriber

'The future of crime fiction is named Hannah Morrissey' Alex Finlay'A moody, unsettling debut novel' **The Washington Post**Every night police transcriber Hazel Greenlee listens as detectives divulge Black Harbor’s gruesome crimes. Hazel, an aspiring novelist, believes that writing a book could be her only ticket out of this frozen hellscape. Her life isn’t exactly brimming with inspiration, until her neighbor confesses to hiding the corpse of an overdose victim. With an insider’s look at the investigation, Hazel becomes spellbound by the lead detective, Nikolai Kole, and the chilling narrative he shares with her. Through his transcription, she learns that the suspicious death is linked to Candy Man, a drug dealer notorious for selling illegal substances to children. When Kole invites her on a covert operation to help take the dealer down, the promise of a story calls to her. As the investigation unfolds, Hazel will learn just how far she'll go for a good story -- even if it means destroying her marriage and luring the killer to her as she plunges deeper into the city she's desperate to claw her way out of.
