About this listen

Based on the bestselling Audible Original by Anthony Khaseria, THE RATCATCHER is a thrilling police drama for fans of Joy Ellis and Michael Wood.

It's been twelve weeks since Dresden Commissioner Paula Beyer was sent to the small town of Freidorf to investigate the disappearance of several teenagers. Now she is sitting opposite a psychologist who is tasked with figuring out whether Paula's statements about the case are true, or whether she needs to be suspended until further notice.

While Paula believes that the young people were kidnapped by someone mimicking the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, her colleagues believe that Paula is indulging in a fantasy and endangering the investigation.If Paula wants to stop the perpetrator, she has to convince the psychologist of her version of the story. But the longer the conversation goes on, the more Paula doubts herself…

One of the best audio dramas …

One of the best audio dramas I’ve heard recently. Engrossing story, original plot and genuinely surprising twist - which isn’t easy with the surfeit of this kind of drama.

Original and Suspenseful plot that will keep you listening to the unexpected end. The acting is lifelike and the Dolby sound makes a real difference. A quality Audible.
