Boston, 1950. Nell Harrow is a policewoman parked at the department's basement desk for anything it cannot explain. Jonah is a man with no name, no pulse and no past, who hears every heartbeat in the room. Together they work the cases the rest of the Bureau would rather not file.
Every case has an uncanny core: a gift with a rule and a price. Nell finds the rule, Jonah faces the danger, and because a court is still a court, the truth has to be proved with paper, witnesses and sworn testimony, never with a heartbeat. Knowing is not proving.
Special Matters is the first series of the Mono Noir Super Series, a continuing, episodic superhero audio drama: fair-play mysteries in which the impossible is part of the evidence, and the characters grow from one episode to the next. Episode one, the pilot (S01E01), is the beginning: a man drowns in a dry, bolted room, and the only suspect in the cell wears the face of a man who vanished. Episodes run about fifty minutes, and you should start with the pilot.
The writing, voices, music, sound effects and artwork are AI-generated, and a human listens to and revises every episode. How it is made.
