The Call: A Paramedic Hostage Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798299475470)

A phone that shouldn't ring. A rule you can't break. A city that turns green for someone else.

Paramedic Rana Malik is ordered to drive-no sirens, no radio, never over thirty-or her daughter dies. The caller routes her through Liverpool's backstreets to a shuttered warehouse and a silent teen named Kira, strapped into a humming vest that "isn't a bomb" but will kill her if anyone improvises. The city obeys ghost signals. Lights change. Doors unlock. Wrong crews wait behind the right doors. And every mistake is punished in real time.

With two unseen forces fighting for control and an encrypted drive called EIDOLON at stake, Rana has to keep Kira breathing, outthink a system that hears everything, and choose the one rule she's willing to break to get her daughter back. If she guesses wrong, the vest goes quiet-and so does the city.

The Call is a relentless, cinematic hostage-route thriller about a mother's defiance, a paramedic's precision under pressure, and the invisible hands that can turn any town into a trap. If you love high-stakes, time-locked suspense with heart, this will grab you on page one and not let go.
