Overview

A haunting coming-of-age thriller set in 1982 fictional Grand Lakes, Montana, where innocence rides on BMX wheels-and evil hums in the shadows. For eleven-year-old Sam Williams, life in Grand Lakes is a gritty mix of freedom and fear. Days are spent pedaling his Team Murray alongside his crew-Colby, Noah, and Jon-chasing the rush of wheelies and ramps under the looming Anaconda smokestack. Nights echo with 1980s rock-Metallica, Journey, and the haunting strains of ""Peggy Sue""-as he strums dreams of escape on an air guitar. But beneath the surface of this small-town idyll, a darkness festers. Boys are vanishing, their bodies turning up strangled, and the crawl space under Sam's bunk holds secrets that whisper in the dark. When Sam's music teacher, Mr. Randall, starts humming the same tune that trails the disappearances, suspicion creeps closer to home. A purple scarf, a hidden list, and a child's sneaker unearthed in the crawl space point to a killer who's been watching-too close, too long. As the body count rises and Sam's name appears on Randall's list, the boys take to the tracks on their BMXs, racing to unmask a predator before he claims them next. But in a town where even the adults harbor secrets-like Bob Birch, the State Attorney with a blood-stained past-the truth is a moving target, and trust is a luxury Sam can't afford. With his family unraveling-Dad hunting a killer, Mom's screams echoing over the phone-Sam must navigate a web of betrayal, blackmail, and buried trauma. The final showdown at the tracks will test the bonds of brotherhood and the courage of youth against a shadow that refuses to die. Perfect for fans of Stand by Me and It, The Ghosts In The Static is a gripping tale of innocence lost, where the hum of a killer's tune lingers long after the last page. Grab your BMX and ride into the storm-before the crawl space claims you too.
