Boston Blackie -- Burning His House Behind Him

From the postwar heyday of radio crime drama, a reformed jewel thief turned amateur detective takes on a chilling murder. Joe Lang has killed his wife Sally and buried her in the basement under fresh concrete -- but when his rattled accomplice runs to Boston Blackie for help, the body vanishes and the house goes up in flames. Inspector Farraday is closing in, the killer is one step ahead, and the truth turns on a twist nobody saw coming. Originally broadcast August 13, 1947, starring Richard Kollmar as Boston Blackie.
