  With its hipster-run Portland food truck pod and focus on real-world social issues like homelessness, gentrification, school affordability, and bicycle commuting, this third Ground Rules Mystery is a fresh, modern cozy featuring coffee barista Sage Caplin. She's ready to take a shot at a new side hustle—her boyfriend's gaming company—until a programmer's pranks get him burned . . . 
   
   
   
  To top off her coffee business, Sage is now helping out with her boyfriend Bax's gaming company. Conveniently for Sage, it's located next door to her Ground Rules Roastery. That makes it easy for her to pitch in with Bax's employee team-building event. The plan is to boost morale with a scavenger hunt. And it seems to be going well—until Robbie, a programmer known for being a prankster, turns up dead in Sage's roastery . . . 
   
   
   
  There are two suspects so far: Sage, who has no idea how the victim ended up in her space; and Bax, who was allegedly spotted arguing with Robbie the day before. But could it be a disgruntled employee? After all, Robbie's sense of humor was known to have rubbed some coworkers the wrong way. Now, it's up to Sage to find the culprit—before another life grinds to a halt.

  Teddy Roosevelt The Rough Riders...

  The Rough Riders was a nickname given to the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry, one of three such regiments raised in 1898 for the Spanish–American War and the only one to see combat. The United States Army was small, understaffed, and disorganized in comparison to its status during the American Civil War roughly thirty years prior. Following the sinking of USS Maine, President William McKinley needed to muster a strong ground force swiftly, which he did by calling for 125,000 volunteers to assist in the war. The U.S. had gone to war in opposition to Spanish colonial policies in Cuba, which was then torn by a rebellion.[1] The regiment was also nicknamed "Wood's Weary Walkers" for its first commander, Colonel Leonard Wood. This reflected their dissatisfaction that despite being cavalry, they ended up fighting in Cuba as infantry since their horses were not sent there with them. 
   
  Wood's second in command was former Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, a strong advocate for the Cuban War of Independence. When Wood was promoted to become commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, the regiment became known as "Roosevelt's Rough Riders." That term was borrowed from Buffalo Bill, who called his traveling Western show "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World." 
   
  The original plan called for the regiment to be composed of frontiersmen from the Indian Territory, the New Mexico Territory, the Arizona Territory, and the Oklahoma Territory. However, after Roosevelt joined the ranks, it attracted an odd mixture of Ivy League athletes, glee club singers, Texas Rangers, and Native Americans. All accepted into the regiment had to be skilled horsemen and eager to see combat. The Rough Riders would receive more publicity than any other Army unit in that war, and they are best remembered for their conduct during the Battle of San Juan Hill.

  The world didn’t end in fire or war. 
  It ended in silence. 
  Five years after a global AI-driven collapse tears civilization apart, former Army communications specialist Anthony Russo has built a fragile refuge deep in the mountains of North Carolina. The power grid has fallen, networks are corrupted, and Synopsis — the quantum-born AI that once promised to optimize humanity — now governs the remnants of society with cold efficiency. 
  Most people disappeared into the system. 
  Anthony chose to disappear from it. 
  But survival in the post-collapse world is never simple. When a violent encounter exposes his family to roaming militias and the reach of Synopsis, Anthony is forced to rely on the skills he thought he left in uniform: tactical awareness, field comms, and an instinctive need to protect his own. 
  As encrypted signals flicker back to life, Anthony finds himself drawn into a hidden war playing out across abandoned networks and backcountry frequencies. A resistance is forming — scattered, desperate, but organized. And someone out there is transmitting messages only he can decipher. 
  With his son Michael at his side and his loyal Belgian Malinois, Ira, guarding every step, Anthony must navigate a world where alliances are uncertain, freedom is fading, and every choice has consequences. What he uncovers hints at a terrifying truth: the collapse wasn’t a failure. It was a plan. 
  Blending survivalism, military grit, and near-future techno-thriller tension, Silence in the Signals is a gripping debut about family, loyalty, and the human cost of a world optimized beyond humanity’s control. 
  If technology can decide who is useful… 
  what happens to those who aren’t?
