State Your Emergency

On the last night of her career, with a storm chewing the coast off Port Halloran and nine hundred thousand people assuming someone will answer if they scream, 911 dispatcher Cass Doyle puts on her headset for the final time. She tells herself the worst call of her life is thirteen months behind her. It is forty-one minutes ahead of her. Part One runs the night almost minute by minute, console by console: the supervisor working a board himself, the rookie four months out of training, the detectives in the rain, and a caller with thirteen months of reasons. Part Two is what everyone owes each other afterward. A thriller about the people who pick up when nobody else will.
