Phantom Code: The Dead Man Who Spoke
PHANTOM CODEA Noir Supernatural Thriller
In the neon-drenched streets of 1990s New York, private investigator Chase Malone makes a living chasing ghosts—both the literal and the metaphorical. Gifted (or cursed) with the ability to astral project and see the dead, Chase walks the razor’s edge between the living and the forgotten.
But when a wealthy businessman is murdered and his ghost is nowhere to be found, Chase stumbles onto something far more terrifying than a simple homicide. Memories are vanishing. Witnesses forget. Evidence erases itself. And the deeper he digs, the more he realizes that someone—or something—is making sure no one remembers Leonard Graves ever existed.
With the help of Andrea Monroe, a hard-nosed journalist who refuses to back down, and Vinny Rizzo, a long-dead mobster with unfinished business, Chase follows a trail of missing names, erased lives, and whispers of an entity that doesn’t just kill—it erases.
As reality itself begins to unravel around him, Chase must confront the Hollow Man—a being that lurks between memory and oblivion. And if Chase makes one wrong move, he won’t just die.
He’ll disappear.

I liked the atmosphere and tone of the story, but the plot was a bit thin and repetitive to me.
