The Awakening

A police detective investigates the murder of a psychiatrist. His only clue is a tape of the murderer consulting with his psychiatrist just before the murder.

The only clue police have in the murder of a psychiatrist is a tape recording of the murderer’s conversation with his victim, before the murder took place, and the sounds of the murder itself. The tape doesn’t help the police at all until another psychiatrist, Dr. Amelia Zeltner, is brought into the case. She listens to the tape and finds motives for murder in it that the police were unable to comprehend.

A cop looks into the killing of a mind doctor. The only thing he has to go on is a recording of the killer talking to his mind doctor right before he did the murder.

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.
