About this listen

Listen to Fishpriest. Available starting May 19th!

The Bronx, 1993. Crack is king. Crime is rampant. Tommy “Fishpriest” Barth - nicknamed after his weapon of choice, a club that’s meant to kill fish but works on people just fine - sees the chaos firsthand at Concourse Bail Bonds.

Today, Tommy’s a bounty hunter, but he was a cop up until two years ago, when an all-consuming undercover operation to bust one of the most notorious crime syndicates the city's ever seen - the Jamaican Shower Posse - destroyed his marriage, drove him to addiction, and cost him his badge.

Tommy thought he’d banished the JSP from the Bronx forever. But with the crack epidemic in full swing, they’re back - and they’re stronger. When Tommy’s ex-partner offers him a shot at redemption, he chooses to risk everything he’s rebuilt.

Will he survive this time?

Ethan Hawke (Training Day) stars in this dark, thrilling, character-driven crime drama. This cinematic Audible Original is presented in eight-episodes with intense, wall-to-wall sound design and grim and gritty performances at a fever-pitch.

If ‘The Wire’ was a audio drama!

If you are a fan of ‘The Wire’ you will definitely be a fan of this one! Awesome performance, effects and storyline! Maybe a little too ‘hardcore’ for some people, but if your not soft around the edges and appreciate quality… this audio drama is for you!

Nope

Hard to follow at first. Too much to take in - quick scene changes, too many characters in short time, reliant on sound effects that aren’t always clear. When I finally got the hang of it all, I realised I didn’t like the story. So… not for me.
