Hey, everyone, Ben here.

Today I'm going to share an excerpt from a new audiobook.

It's called The Pain of Others, and it's a story that involves themes of secrets, grief, community, and shame.

And I think you're all going to find the author's reckoning with the mystery of the story to be captivating.

In a quiet town in the Spanish countryside, a violent crime shattered a family.

Miguel Anhele Hernandez's best friend murdered his sister, and hours later, he jumped off a cliff,

taking his secrets with him. There was no known motive and no explanation.

Now, 20 years later, Miguel returns home and puts himself in the shoes of a detective,

hoping to reconstruct that

tragic night. But revisiting the past awakens ghosts he thought he left behind, a childhood

marked by the church, by sin and guilt, and the oppressive, closed world from which he managed

to escape. It's based on true events. The Pain of Others is a chilling audiobook. The Belins

police thriller, investigative reporting, and suspense. It's a chilling audiobook, the Belenz police thriller,

investigative reporting, and suspense, it's an unflinching reckoning with violence, memory,

and the question that still haunts the author, did he fail to see the warning signs that his

best friend was capable of this horrific crime?

Enjoy this preview.
