S4E3 In Vino Veritas

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player, producer and today’s author. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you at the heart of mystery, murder, and mayhem. These are arrangements, which means instead of word-for-word readings, you get a performance meant to be heard. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes. This is Season 4, A Word Before Dying. This season contains original stories written just for you and built around that classic mystery theme of the last word spoken by the dying victim. Episode 3 is about being a prideful dumbass.

Drivers of all kinds are rallying to pay their respects. Handbrake Hardy Fry’s passing will mark the end of an era. His legendary career spans decades. Hardy outran the law after bank heists and armored car robberies. He carried contraband back and forth over the Canadian border. If a crime involved a car, he likely drove or trained the person who did. Some labeled him a hero, while others dubbed him a villain. Yet, no cop ever slapped handcuffs on Hardy except for a sole drunk and disorderly arrest—a feat unrivaled in wheelman lore. But even legends end. With word spreading that Hardy’s death is imminent, the pilgrimages to his bedside have begun. Many come to pay their respects. Some travel to do him harm. These are their stories.Back Road Bobby and His Friends collects thirteen stories from the brightest voices in crime fiction (including me!)
