Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly comes a riveting detective story, nail-biting heist thriller and supernatural mystery performed by a full cast starring Jack Quaid and Titus Welliver.

When Brian Holloway (Jack Quaid, The Boys) was hired by famous horror author Paul Robinette (Titus Welliver, Bosch) to crack an antique safe in his home, he had no idea what he was about to encounter.

Opening that safe door unleashed something sinister — something that continues to haunt him. But what exactly? And can whatever slipped through that threshold be stopped?

Plagued by a series of disturbing supernatural encounters, chilling prophecies, and a criminal investigation into a missing girl, Brian begins to realize that he is inexplicably linked to the eternal, and that he must defy fate if he has any chance of saving the most important person in his life.

Set against the eerie tropics of Florida, The Safe Man reimagines Connelly’s 2012 short story as a pulse-pounding audio drama. This Connelly masterpiece delivers his signature flavor of suspense, and is produced with brilliant sound design for an unforgettable experience. Listen now.

GREAT SHORT STORY - SPOOKY, TOO!

WARNING - A FEW SPOILERS.

Wow! Mesmerizing and powerful, and scary, too! Great short story, though I wish it had been fleshed out some. Would have liked to see something happen to the bad guy who forced the Safe Man to steal, even though he got that door back.

That writer was a real creep, doing what he did. Would like to see the guy who bought the door, only to have it stolen, show up somehow and try to get it back.

Recommend a SEQUEL. Outstanding job!

Wonderful Haunting Tale

This was a fantastic story about a safe cracker who opens a safe he shouldn't. A great premise with wonderful details. The cast was superb along with the production and sound effects. So many coincidences, really makes you think. I haven't read the book this is based on, but I hope the author does more audio dramas. Absolutely fantastic!
