The Eternal Realm: A Safe Man Story
The exciting, race-against-time follow-up to
The Safe Man
, the #1 Audible hit by international bestseller Michael Connelly.
Raven Freedman is a professional skeptic whose firmest belief is that supposedly supernatural phenomena can be easily debunked. But when she investigates the sudden, unexplained death of horror writer Paul Robinette, what she finds shakes everything she thought she knew to the core.
Raven discovers the safe in Robinette’s house is just one of many thresholds to the spirit realm. Along with Roy Holloway, the father of the original “safe man,” Raven must find and destroy all the remaining safes before it’s too late.
Because the dead are not resting easy, they are looking to claim the living–and Raven will be next.
The Eternal Realm stars Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers; Only Murders in the Building) as Raven Freedman and Michael Cudlitz (The Walking Dead) as Roy Holloway, along with a full cast.
Full list of performers
Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Michael Cudlitz, LisaGay Hamilton, Madison Lintz, Whitmer Thomas, Laurence Fishburne, Denise Sanchez, John Zdrojeski, Verona Blue, Amy Hill, Carl Lumbly, Brielle Santos, Eamon Welliver, Will Reiland, Chris Smith, Oscar Nuñez

Michael Connelly decided to become a writer after discovering the books of Raymond Chandler while attending the University of Florida. Once he decided on this direction he chose a major in journalism and a minor in creative writing — a curriculum in which one of his teachers was novelist Harry Crews.
After graduating in 1980, Connelly worked at newspapers in Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, primarily specializing in the crime beat. In Fort Lauderdale he wrote about police and crime during the height of the murder and violence wave that rolled over South Florida during the so-called cocaine wars. In 1986, he and two other reporters spent several months interviewing survivors of a major airline crash. They wrote a magazine story on the crash and the survivors which was later short-listed for the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing. The magazine story also moved Connelly into the upper levels of journalism, landing him a job as a crime reporter for the Los Angeles Times, one of the largest papers in the country, and bringing him to the city of which his literary hero, Chandler, had written.
After three years on the crime beat in L.A., Connelly began writing his first novel to feature LAPD Detective Hieronymus Bosch. The novel, The Black Echo, based in part on a true crime that had occurred in Los Angeles, was published in 1992 and won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel by the Mystery Writers of America. Connelly has followed that up with over 30 more novels.
Over eighty million copies of Connelly’s books have sold worldwide and he has been translated into forty-five foreign languages. He has won the Edgar Award, Anthony Award, Macavity Award, Los Angeles Times Best Mystery/Thriller Award, Shamus Award, Dilys Award, Nero Award, Barry Award, Audie Award, Ridley Award, Maltese Falcon Award (Japan), .38 Caliber Award (France), Grand Prix Award (France), Premio Bancarella Award (Italy), and the Pepe Carvalho award (Spain) .
Michael was the President of the Mystery Writers of America organization in 2003 and 2004. In addition to his literary work, Michael is one of the producers and writers of the TV show, “Bosch,” which is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Michael lives with his family in Los Angeles and Tampa, Florida.
