Originally published on March 24th 2022, I made this single episode story mostly as a "proof of concept". I was curious what it would be like to produce something like this from start to finish, and to see what people thought about it. Ultimately enough people told me they liked it (and I had plenty of fun along the way), so I decided to expand the story into Bond Beyond Blood! This is an entirely optional episode for listeners curious about Frank, Lilah, and what happened on that fateful night in the abandoned factory!

Bond Beyond Death was it's own individual podcast but I felt that was confusing for new listeners finding the show for the first time, so I have consolidated it into Bond Beyond Blood as a sort of "prequel" despite it being the first to release. So here it is: my first published creative work to be conserved and available forever! You may even recognize a few familiar voices... Enjoy!

Ex-detectives Frank and Lilah must team up to investigate an unusual case in this mystery thriller audio drama podcast. Violence and Language present, intended for teen-mature audiences.

Cast:

Lilah - Taylor Maimone

Frank - Trent Bjornson

Woman - Kelsie Rodriguez

Stranger - Garrett Hale

Fontana - Parker Hill
