Picture this: a moonless night in the city, the kind that clings to your skin like cigarette smoke. Our intrepid crime photographer Casey rushes to a deserted cemetery on the outskirts of town, camera in hand, where the police have uncovered something sinister—a body with connections to "Graveyard Gertie," a black-market operator whose midnight dealings have left a trail of corpses and unanswered questions. What unfolds is a taut fifty minutes of tense interrogations, snapping flashbulbs illuminating shadowy faces, and the kind of moral ambiguity that made listeners lean closer to their radio sets, hearts pounding. This is Casey at his best: a newspaperman-cum-detective prowling the city's darkest corners, where every shadow might conceal a killer and every whispered confession could be a lie.
