Ein Mord, aber keine Leiche? Wo kein Opfer, da kein Täter! Und so nimmt niemand die Aussage einer netten, älteren Dame ernst, sie habe in einem vorbeifahrenden Zug einen Mord beobachtet. Niemand - bis auf die unverwüstliche Miss Marple, die sich unverzüglich daran macht, die Fäden zu entwirren und den Fall zu lösen...

Miss Marple schwelgt in alten Erinnerungen und will ein paar ruhige Tage in Bertrams Hotel in London verbringen. Doch plötzlich verschwindet ein ehrenwerter Stammgast des Hotels: Kanonikus Pennyfather wollte zu einem Kongress nach Luzern, ist dort aber nie angekommen. Chief-Inspector Fred Davy bittet Miss Marple um Hilfe, hat sie doch den Verschwundenen zuletzt gesehen. Und schon bald sind sich die beiden Ermittler einig: die Idylle des komfortablen Hotels ist nur Fassade.

On the way there she encounters Adam Chase, a charming, handsome stranger who knows more than he's telling about the hall's mysterious secrets....

As a rousing Strauss piece is reaching its crescendo in Maningpool Civic Hall, the talented yet obnoxious conductor Sir Noel Grampian is shot dead in full view of the Municipal Orchestra and the audience. It was no secret that he had many enemies - musicians and music critics among them - but to be killed mid-flow suggests an act of the coldest calculation. Told through the letters and documents sent by DI Alan Hope to his wife as he puzzles through the dauntingly vast pool of suspects and scant physical evidence in the case.

The pen is mightier than the sword, but is it mightier than the .45? That's the dilemma faced by hard-nosed crime reporter Randy Stone each week in one of radio's most memorable newspaper dramas: Night Beat. While guns blaze and thugs prowl the back alleys of Stone's Chicago, the solving crimes is almost incidental to the unraveling of compelling human problems. Frank Lovejoy stars as the enterprising Chicago newspaperman, whose stories focus not on the essential corruption of humanity, but on its basic decency.

NYPD detective Danny Clover, poignantly portrayed by Larry Thor, patrols The Great White Way. With each block he bears witness to regret and redemption, to desperation and debauchery, to wealth and want. Each leaves its mark on this poetic policeman. At Clover’s side, and covering his back, are Sgt. Tartaglia (Charles Calvert) and Sgt. Muggavan (Jack Kruschen). The unhappy endings of hard luck stories drive Danny to search for justice - pounding the pavement to track down an eye witness, find that one scrap of evidence, or just to walk until it all makes sense.

A diverse collection of Sherlock Holmes related writings including several essays, short stories, and two radio plays. Andriacco's obsession with matters Sherlockian is obvious, and there is much here for Sherlock Holmes fans to enjoy.

It wasn’t much of a story, just an obituary. Mrs. Martha Orloff, age 62, scrub woman, death by natural causes, heart failure. But what’s natural about killing yourself with a scrubbing brush? It would have only been a two-line obit if the other scrubwoman hadn’t stopped him on his way out of the building.

Randy didn’t have to go and look for his story tonight; it came in over the Teletype.

His wife, Molly Keller, a quiet woman, worked in the offices of the Chicago Star as a humble cleaner. Keller died still denying any knowledge of the $650,000 payroll robbery in the sensation of 14 years ago.
