The future of crime fiction is named Hannah Morrissey. - Alex Finlay

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 neighbour 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 storyβ€”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.

Hello, Transcriber is a gripping tale of ambition, obsession, and the cost of chasing a narrative that could tear one's life apart. Dive into this electrifying narrative from Hannah Morrissey and discover why she is being hailed as the future of crime fiction.

About the Author

Hannah Morrissey is the USA Today Best Selling Author of the Black Harbor Suspense Series. A three-decade survivor of Wisconsin winters, Hannah enjoys putting her characters (and readers) in bone-chilling atmospheres that permeate beyond the page. Naturally, her books have carved out their own sub-genre of 'Midwestern Noir'. Between roles of bookseller and copywriter, Hannah was inspired to write her debut novel while transcribing reports for her local police department. Far from home in a grim, crime-ridden city, it was her job to sit alone in the dead of night, listen, and type as detectives divulged the city's darkest secrets. There, she realized that every case was a story, and every story started with the same two words: 'Hello, Transcriber.'
