What secrets would you uncover if your father’s dying words led you to a locked warehouse?

In this gripping and exclusive audiobook-style episode of the Middle-aged Bodcast, co-host T.A. Shelano reads Chapter One of his debut sci-fi thriller The Doctor’s Hidden Patients. It begins with a heart attack in a supermarket car park – and ends with a shocking discovery behind a steel door. When Sarah Leidenstraum follows the trail left by her late father, Dr Robert Leidenstraum, she uncovers a secret so disturbing it could change everything she thought she knew.

Set in 1999, this story weaves together emotional weight, dark humour, and slow-building suspense. If you’re into dystopian fiction, family drama, or sci-fi with a conscience, this episode is for you.
