A Question of Identity

Description

A smart woman gets caught up in a dangerous world of spies and lies when she must figure out which of three men claiming to be her mysterious former husband Bob Christie is telling the truth.

Hilary Cummings, on her way to work as a court stenographer, is kidnapped and taken to a country mansion where a U.S. government intelligence agent demands that she identify her ex-husband, Bob Christie, from among three spies posing as Bob. She ultimately agrees (the nation’s security is involved), but there are two problems: Bob has undergone radical facial surgery, and she hasn’t seen him for 12 years.

The story of an intelligent woman who suddenly finds herself entangled in a web of espionage and deceit as she tries to identify her enigmatic ex-husband from three men, all of whom assert that he is Bob Christie.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
