Rage Against the Dying

Becky Masterman

Sinopsis

You have never met an (ex) FBI agent like Brigid Quinn"Keeping secrets, telling lies, they require the same skill. Both become a habit, almost an addiction, that's hard to break even with the people closest to you, out of the business. For example, they say never trust a woman who tells you her age; if she can't keep that secret, she can't keep yours. I'm fifty-nine."Brigid Quinn's experiences in hunting sexual predators for the FBI have left her with memories she wishes she didn't have and lethal skills she hopes never to need again. Having been pushed into early retirement by events she thinks she's put firmly behind her, Brigid keeps telling herself she is settling down nicely in Tucson with a wonderful new husband, Carlo, and their dogs. But the past intervenes when a man named Floyd Lynch confesses to the worst unsolved case of Brigid's career—the disappearance and presumed murder of her young protégée, Jessica. Floyd knows things about that terrible night that were never made public, and offers to lead the cops to Jessica's body in return for a plea bargain. It should finally be the end of a dark chapter in Brigid's life. Except…the new FBI agent on the case, Laura Coleman, thinks the confession is fake, and Brigid finds she cannot walk away from violence and retribution after all, no matter what the cost.With a fiercely original and compelling voice, Becky Masterman's Rage Against the Dying marks the heart-stopping debut of a brilliant new thriller writer.

The Empathizer

JAMIE MICAH

"The Empathizer" is a provocative dystopian political satire that transports listeners to a fractured America after a second civil war. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death," this limited audio series follows one man's harrowing journey when he returns to the progressive West Coast and becomes trapped as the deadly pandemic sweeps through the region. 
When our protagonist, a Zionist Jew who defected to the eastern states after the war, returns to New California to bury his parents alongside his estranged sister Judith, he finds himself fleeing to the compound of Gravity Darker—a powerful rapper-turned-politician. Inside this seemingly secure fortress, seven color-coded rooms host an elaborate masquerade where the progressive elite party while the world outside succumbs to disease and chaos. 
As our hero navigates through increasingly bizarre and decadent environments, he uncovers the dark truth behind Gravity's wealth and power: a horrifying experiment called the "Radical Empathizer" that harvests human brains to artificially create empathy. When the pandemic inevitably breaches the compound walls, the spectacular collapse of this utopian experiment reveals the hollow nature of performative empathy and privilege. 
"The Empathizer" combines Gothic horror with political satire to create a thought-provoking commentary on our divided society, challenging listeners to examine their assumptions about empathy, privilege, and political ideology. 
For listeners captivated by this world, the story will continue in a planned second season, drawing inspiration from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

When the Thompson twins invite 12-year-old Wilson to go to the beach with them in the summer of 1958, he couldn’t say no.

But, once the kids arrive at the beach house and find there’s no adult supervision, Wilson’s excitement turns to panic. 
To his relief, Wilson makes a new friend on the pier who helps calm his anxieties for a moment. The moment only lasts until Wilson discovers something on the beach. Something that causes him to never return to the ocean for the rest of his life.
