  The Empathizer

  "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."

  The scrap of paper looked as if it had been torn from a diary. The words written in faint pencil. The letters rounded, almost childlike. Please look after her. Her life and mine depend on you not trying to find me. 
  
   
  When Detective Alana Mack arrives at Clonabee police station, in a small Irish seaside town on the outskirts of Dublin, she doesn't expect to find a distressed two-year-old girl sobbing on the floor. Abandoned in a local supermarket, the child tells them her name is Casey. All Alana and her team have to go on is a crumpled note begging for someone to look after the little girl. This mother doesn't want to be found. 
  
   
  Still recovering from a terrible accident that has left Alana navigating a new life as a wheelchair user, Alana finds herself suddenly responsible for Casey while trying to track down the missing mother and solve another missing person's case… a retired newsagent who has seemingly vanished from his home.
  
   
  Forced to ask her ex-husband and child psychiatrist Colm for help, through Forensic Art Therapy, Alana discovers that whatever darkness lies behind the black windows in Casey's crayon drawing, the little girl was terrified of the house she lived in. 
  
   
  Then a bag of human remains is found in a bin, and a chilling link is made – the DNA matches Casey's. 
  
   
  Alana and her team must find the body and make the connection with the missing newsagent fast if she is to prevent another life from being taken. But with someone in her department leaking confidential details of the investigation to the media, can Alana set aside her emotional involvement in this case and find Casey’s mother and the killer before it's too late? 
  
   
  Heart-pounding and totally addictive, The Puppet Maker is the first in the Detective Alana Mack series that will have fans of Ann Cleeves, Angela Marsons and LJ Ross racing through the pages late into the night.

  The stakes don't get much higher than murder . . . 
   
  It's January 1969 in the small rural community of Center Springs, Texas. Constable Ned Parker suspects a larger mystery behind the seemingly accidental death of his nephew, R .B., who was found in his overturned pickup near Sanders Creek bridge. It appears that R. B. drowned in the shallow water, but something doesn't add up for Ned, who begins turning over stones in search of what really happened the night R. B. died. 
   
  The mystery leads Ned to the Starlite Club, a dangerous honky-tonk recently constructed in a no-man's land on the Lone Star side of the Red River. His investigations there uncover suspicious characters, drugs, and gambling, but even more troubling are a series of murders that seem designed to eliminate anyone who might know what really happened to R. B. on that cold January night. 
   
  As he works his way through the cover-up, Ned lands himself in a high-stakes game of consequences with no good end in sight. Are the good citizens of Center Springs conspiring against Constable Parker in his search for the truth?
