The Seven-Minute Alibi by AJ Archibald

Seven people spoke to Claire Duvall after she died. Every call was recorded. Every alibi was airtight. And every voice belonged to the victim.

When investigative radio host Claire Duvall is found dead during a seven-minute station blackout, forensic audio restorer Lena Hart is drawn into a case built to defeat her. Six suspects received synthetic calls. One received a live warning. All seven remember conversations that the evidence says never happened.

As Lena and Detective Owen Mercer separate real room tone from manufactured certainty, the case reaches into an abandoned crisis line, a stolen archive of private voices, and a scheme that has been rewriting memories for years. Someone is still editing the evidence - and each new clue is designed to accuse a different person.

To identify the killer, Lena must stop listening to what the recordings say and uncover who arranged the silence around them. Because the final call is meant for her.
