  • 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.

Editorial Review

A thrilling story transformed!
Michael Connelly’s 2012 short story The Safe Man is now a fast-paced, celebrity-performed audio drama, starring Jack Quaid and Titus Welliver. Hired to crack open an old safe in the home of a horror author, Brian Holloway realizes he may be releasing a lot more than hidden secrets or money. When paranormal events start to happen, he must hunt down exactly what was lying dormant within the safe. Whether this is your first or second time listening, experience The Safe Man like you’ve never experienced it before with fun sound design that intensifies the story as it plays out. —Nicole R., Audible Editor

Not what I expected in a good way

This is the first dramatization audio book I've listened to so I wasn't sure at the start but I'm glad I finished it. It was a little creepy but I did enjoy it.

Fun, creepy and fast!

I don't listen to many dramatizations, but after listening to this one I may change that! Well written story and characters (I would expect nothing less from Michael Connelly) and some great voice acting. Interesting story concept - nice and creepy which is great timing since I listened to this the week before Halloween. My only complaint is that it ended! I hope to find something similar on Audible soon.
