The victim may be a blood relation, but the murderer? That truth lies buried beneath layers of motive, opportunity, and the kind of deception that only a master sleuth can unearth.

During the 1940s, when Americans sought escape from wartime anxiety through their radios, The Falcon delivered escapism with substance—mysteries that respected the listener's intelligence while delivering pure entertainment.
