Liverpool, 1954. Ration books still ration hope. The war is over, but secrets are just beginning.
Detective Silas Walker seeks solace among the pigeons of Princess Park-until a body appears at the docks, clutching a cutting-edge transistor and traces of ginger biscuit from his own kitchen. What begins as an odd murder spirals into a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of Britain's most secretive Cold War project: Remote Vie, a surveillance system capable of watching anyone, anywhere-without them ever knowing.
As Silas follows a trail of cryptic crossword clues, stolen electronics, and Roman-era clay, he uncovers a web of betrayal involving rogue scientists, government operatives, and a silent killer known only as "The Ferryman." With his wife threatened and his sister drawn into the danger, Silas must outthink a foe who sees everything... and erase himself from their sight before it's too late.
In a city still rebuilding from war, the deadliest weapon isn't a bomb-it's being watched.
