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.

Pretty Interesting

I didn't read the book, but this Audible version drew me in right away. The story is gripping, with a chilling atmosphere that keeps you on edge. The narration is outstanding, adding to the eerie and unsettling mood. It's a short listen, but is filled with suspense and thrills.

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!

MORE PLEASE!!!

This was a good story, engaging and suspenseful. There were so many areas to explore and build out, this left me wanting more. What happen to the man in Florida whom they stole the door from, what happen to the house after Robinette died, did all the ghost go back to whence they came after the Threshold safe door was returned. Although Brian died, is he a restless spirit . so many loose ends, so many questions.

Great story by a great author Performed by talented actors 

Clever Podcast by the author of the Lincoln, lawyer books, and the performed by Titus, Welliver, Quaid, and other experienced actors and actresses. The book questions at the afterlife, the before life, the time within which we lives and fate, More than one path through time, Family,  The unalterability of fate. Those who see, hear,believe in eternity. 

Death and life.

Safe, cracking and safes with the name threshold that act as Portals between the eternity and where are those not living in eternity Reside.
