Sleep Without Dreams
Half-trolls were never meant to become homicide detectives, and in Jade’s defense, she had always tried to stay away from murder. But when the Bureau gives you a case full of corrupt elves, rival trolls and weird rituals, you either do your best detective work or hand in your resignation. A weekly fantasy-noir podcast following the eldritch adventures of Detective Jade Hawkins. Written and narrated by Claire Wake.
