This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

He thought he was just watching the neighbors. Until the footage showed someone watching him.

Cal Becker has spent two years hiding in his late mother's house, avoiding the world that destroyed his podcasting career. His only human contact comes through his window—documenting the perfect couple across the street with obsessive precision.

Mark and Elyse Whitaker wave every morning at 7:13 AM. They jog for exactly twelve minutes. They never miss garbage day.

Until the night Cal sees them digging a hole in their backyard at 2:47 AM.

By morning, the hole is gone. The surveillance footage is corrupted. And Cal begins to suspect that the quiet suburban street he's been documenting might be documenting him back.

What follows is a descent into a world where nothing is what it seems, where the line between observer and observed becomes terrifyingly blurred, and where the past has teeth sharp enough to destroy the present.

Armed with his father's old tape recorder and a growing certainty that analog truth is the only truth you can trust, Cal uncovers a conspiracy that reaches deeper than surveillance, more personal than paranoia, and more devastating than anything he covered in his podcasting days.

But the most chilling discovery isn't what the cameras captured—it's the realization that some windows reflect more than they reveal, and some watchers have been watching longer than you know.

A masterful psychological thriller that explores guilt, isolation, and the dangerous power of narrative. Perfect for fans of Tana French, Gillian Flynn, and anyone who's ever wondered what their neighbors are really doing behind closed doors.
