Murder at the Transmitter Tower: A Festival Broadcast Cozy Mystery

About Murder at the Transmitter Tower: A Festival Broadcast Cozy Mystery

Summer Signal Fest is supposed to be Wrenwood Radio’s big comeback. A live remote show on the ridge, a cheering crowd, and one perfect night to prove our station still belongs to this town. Then the tower engineer drops dead inside the fenced transmitter compound, face-down near the generator shed.

The gate log says nobody went in. The officials call it heat, stress, bad luck. A tidy “medical event” that lets everyone go back to smiling.

Except the tower doesn’t fail by accident. And he didn’t die by chance. Before he collapsed, Nolan told me he’d found something in the maintenance calendar: outages and silences that were scheduled, approved, and timed to bury the wrong voices at the right moments.

Now his notes are missing, my mic keeps cutting out mid-sentence, and someone with a cloned badge can walk through “restricted” doors like they own them. If I cannot prove who controls access to that tower, the station loses its legitimacy, my friends become collateral, and the people who have been curating Wrenwood’s truth get exactly what they want. Dead air.
