Blood, Thunder and a Woman in Green

Description

Abner Colbridge, a glib private detective, gets a phone call for help from his photographer friend who calls himself Bo Peep. Bo claims to have taken a photograph of a street murder and wants Abner to act as his bodyguard while he develops it. By the time Abner gets to Bo’s apartment, however, his friend is dead. Abner starts a frantic search for the film, but is interrupted and put out of commission by a well-placed blow from a blackjack. Notes: Fletcher Markle’s radio credits stretched many years on such programs as The Ford Theatre and Studio One, both of which he produced and directed. He also occasionally adapted novels and plays for programs such as The Red Badge of Courage, Ah, Wilderness, Dodsworth, and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

Abner Coleridge, a seasoned private investigator, finds himself embroiled in a murder case after Bo Peep, an ambitious news photographer, calls him about a showing photograph. But before he can reach her, Bo is murdered, her apartment ransacked, and the crucial photo missing. Coleridge's relentless pursuit of truth draws him into a perilous game of intrigue.

Private eye Abner Coleridge gets pulled into a deadly mystery when news photographer Bo Peep contacts him about an important picture. Before Coleridge can meet with her, someone kills Bo Peep, tears apart her home, and steals the key photo. Now Coleridge must hunt for the truth in a dangerous web of secrets and lies.

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.
