This first installment of the Cliff Weller mystery series opens with a down-on-his-luck Cliff drinking his blues away at Nicky Congo’s bar. But the gearshift of his luck slams into fast forward when a baffling but attractive woman seeks his help in locating a runaway teenager. Maybe it was the wad of cash she flashed or the scent of her perfume—either way, against his better judgment, Cliff was compelled to take on the case. But, of course, not all is as it seems.
Through his investigation, Cliff uncovers the Geminus Corporation, a sinister organization involved in clandestine genetic experiments. He also discovers that the corporation, the woman, the runaway, and a homeless man (who seems to have returned from the dead) have a shadowy connection. Then there’s that abandoned warehouse on the edge of the city, the one with the eerie, inexplicable lights. Is it really haunted, as the locals say, or is something else going on there?
This supernatural sci-fi tale features British voice actor David Ault as Cliff Weller, a full cast, engaging sound effects, and music.

“Produced by David Farquhar and his company Voices in the Wind, this mystery/hard-boiled detective series with a noir flavor fits perfectly in an audio setting…As always, voice acting veteran David Ault knocks it out of the park with his unique blend of snark…His character’s laid-back attitude is in direct conflict with the dark and gritty nature of most hard-boiled detective fiction. Yes, he’s a wreck and has a similar backstory as many film noir protagonists, but his outlook on life is what sets him and the story apart.”
