A new Audible Original debuts today, Thursday, April 24, exclusively from Audible. Led by Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor Jon Hamm, reprising his role as Jack Bergin and featuring an all-star cast including Ana de la Reguera, John Slattery, Alia Shawkat, Omar Epps, and Erin Moriarty, The Big Fix: A Jack Bergin Mystery is a cinematic audio drama that transports listeners to 1957 Los Angeles, offering a riveting tale of corruption, power, and displacement. Created by John Mankiewicz (House of Cards, Bosch, House, M.D.) and directed by Aaron Lipstadt, the series explores the often-overlooked Chavez Ravine evictions and the Brooklyn Dodgers’ move to Los Angeles, weaving historical events into a character-driven mystery.
It’s 1957, four years after Jack Bergin left the FBI, and he’s quickly established himself as L.A.’s hottest private investigator who can handle the most sensitive cases for the city’s biggest players. When Jack’s ex-girlfriend, Lala Portal (Ana de la Reguera), asks him to help a young man wrongly accused of murder, Jack takes the case without realizing it’s a loose thread that will unspool a web of power, corruption, and murder that reaches to the highest levels of the city’s government and elite.
His investigation leads him to Solano Canyon — a robust Mexican-American community near the future home of Dodger’s Stadium — which is being threatened by powerful forces who aim to condemn and redevelop the neighborhood for financial gain.
Set in the aftermath of the infamous Chavez Ravine evictions, this audio drama immerses listeners in a murder mystery that reveals the gritty underbelly of a city on the cusp of transformation, where the price of progress may be more than anyone is willing to pay.
