The First Call from Heaven

One morning in a small town in Michigan, telephones start ringing. The voices on the line belong to… deceased people. Messengers from the afterlife are informing their relatives and friends that they are doing well, that they are living in... paradise, and they wish the best for those living on Earth. Is this the greatest miracle in the world or a cruel prank?
How will the 'miracle fever' end, engulfing the small provincial town, and will its residents pass the test of faith?

- What should one talk about with the deceased, now that the heavenly operators have provided such an opportunity? And what should never be asked?
- Can faith give people another chance at happiness?

The novel by an American author whose books have sold over 40 million copies worldwide is a true sensation in the style of the series 'Black Mirror'. This dystopia with captivating elements of a journalistic investigation will keep you on edge until the very last page.


'The town is drowning under the influx of believers who dream of saying at least a few words to those who have permanently left the Earth. Journalists tirelessly film sensation after sensation about the miraculous calls from the other side that will happen here every day. This book will become a memorable 'gift' to humanity, which has found itself enslaved by its mobile devices.' — Anna Myasnikova, head of the creative projects group at the publishing house 'Bombora'

'I was sure that I would read an ordinary novel about life, but I got a whole detective investigation.
A truly gripping story about faith in miracles, trust, and redemption. These are the kinds of novels one wants to discuss endlessly with everyone. Do miracles happen in real life? Everyone will find their answer in this book.' — Anastasia Tameeva, author of the blog marvelasty
