The Hit Man
A chance meeting with the wife of his next victim changes the mindset of a hired gun.
Hired to kill a minor gangland figure, Jim Derry figures it will be just another job, until); he meets his “mark,” Eddie Breech, and hears Breech’s story that he stole money from the mob to pay for his wife’s medical treatments. Derry decides to fake the killing to give the couple a chance to get away, but he underestimates Connie Breech’s desire for revenge against the husband who crippled her for life.
A professional killer meets the woman married to his target and starts thinking differently about his job.
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.
