Toby Stephens stars in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatization of Raymond Chandler s second Philip Marlowe mysteryFast-talking, trouble-seeking private eye Philip Marlowe is a different kind of detective: a moral man in an amoral world. California in the 40s and 50s is as beautiful as a ripe fruit and rotten to the core, and Marlowe must struggle to retain his integrity amid the corruption he encounters daily.In "Farewell, My Lovely," Marlowe has a chance encounter with a not-so-gentle giant outside Florian s nightclub. Just released from prison, Moose Malloy is looking for his old flame, red-haired Velma Valento, who he last saw eight years ago.Before Marlowe can blink, Malloy has smashed up the club, broken the manager s neck, and headed out of the door. Marlowe knows this mess is none of his business, but he has a hunch that he can find Velma. He just has to hope that curiosity doesn t get him killed as well Starring Toby Stephens, this fast-paced dramatization is full of wisecracks and colorful characters, and retains all the charm and humor of Chandler s stylish, suspenseful novel."

The Queen of Mystery strikes again! This time, Agatha Christie takes us to a quiet English village one plagued by a fiendish serial killer.Luke Fitzwilliam could not believe Miss Pinkerton s wild allegation that a multiple murderer was at work in the quiet English village of Wychwood or her speculation that the local doctor was next in line. But within hours, Miss Pinkerton had been killed in a hit-and-run car accident. Mere coincidence? Luke was inclined to think so until he read in the" Times" of the unexpected demise of Dr. Humbleby."

Steven Mackintosh stars as Martin Beck, with Neil Pearson as Lennart Kollberg, in this BBC Radio 4 dramatization of "The Fire Engine that Disappeared," translated by Joan Tate and dramatized by Katie Hims. In "The Fire Engine that Disappeared," adapted from the fifth book, the apartment of a suspect being staked out by Beck s team explodes, killing three people. Arson and murder aren t at first suspected, but it soon becomes clear that the fire was started on purpose. The Martin Beck books are widely acknowledged as some of the most influential detective novels ever created. Written by Swedish husband and wife team Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo, the series set a gold standard for all subsequent Scandinavian crime fiction. Before Kurt Wallander or Harry Hole, Beck was the original flawed policeman, working alongside his colleagues to uncover the cruelty and injustice lurking beneath the surface of Sweden s seemingly liberal, democratic society."
