Finding Pattersby

About Finding Pattersby

A weird fiction mystery about a disgraced ghostwriter who uses the public investigation of a legendary, missing thriller author to work through some stuff. Also the ghostwriter is a liar. Follow host Ryan Cervantes in this 10ish-part comic thriller set in the world of high stakes thriller publishing, as he enters a land of cultish fandoms and cut-throat literati; of secret societies with ancient coffee beans and occult writing exercises that pierce the veil and top the charts of novels sold in supermarkets and airport bookstores…OR DO THEY? That’s what host Cervantes aims to find out in this pot-boiler for the ears. But if he hopes to escape the same fate as his missing boss in this IRL thriller, he’ll have to draw on everything he knows about how to survive a very deadly bestseller.
