Six years ago, Ilse Marchand watched Gabriel Voss die in a firefight in Odesa she buried his memory, not his body, because there wasn't one to bury. Now a fragment of encrypted signal surfaces at a Vienna listening post, carrying the exact cadence of a cipher only the two of them ever shared. Only two people ever knew it. One of them is dead. Isn't he?As Ilse chases the anomaly through the marble corridors and back-alley safe houses of Vienna, she uncovers the Choir a syndicate that doesn't just intercept signals, it fabricates them, erasing dissidents, defectors, and inconvenient witnesses from the world's networks one false death at a time. To bring the Choir down, she must trust a man who let her grieve him for six years, learn which of her own colleagues can still be trusted, and confront a betrayal reaching into the highest levels of her own agency all while deciding how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice for a love the world insists never existed.
