When her brother disappears, Veronica Hale discovers she may have uncovered something she was never meant to find.
An AI specialist living in Durham, Ronnie Hale has spent her life solving problems. Missing people are supposed to belong to somebody else. But when a cryptic message arrives after her brother's disappearance, she is drawn into a hidden network of private intelligence firms, government contractors and organisations operating beyond public scrutiny.
Armed only with her own instincts, a homemade AI assistant known as BAILEY, and a handful of reluctant allies, Ronnie begins following a trail that stretches from the North-East of England into the shadows of power itself.
HALE is a serialized noir thriller podcast about surveillance, technology, family and the stories institutions tell to protect themselves.
Every answer leads to another question.
Every secret hides a larger one.
