Whispers from Nowhere

Applying a routine security update to the app's packages.

Here's a back-cover blurb for Whispers from Nowhere:

Some towns vanish from the map. Nowhere was never on it.

Investigator Boris Kozlov has seen a lot in thirty years of chasing the unexplained. Then a string of disappearances leads him down a forgotten road to a town that shouldn't exist. Nowhere's streets are empty, its clocks have stopped, and its few remaining residents won't say what happened to everyone else.

Only Anna will talk to him. She's a quiet woman who has spent her whole life keeping a ledger of the missing, and she knows more than she lets on. As whispers fill the hotel corridors at night and shadows move through the forest, Boris follows the trail to the abandoned town hall. Beneath it is a Soviet-era laboratory, and a machine that was built to open a door. No one ever managed to close it.

To save what's left of Nowhere, Boris and Anna must face what came through, and decide what they're willing to lose to seal it shut.

A chilling young adult horror novel about grief, memory, and the voices that refuse to be forgotten.
