What happens
Sir William Brent, a retired head of English criminal investigation, has spent two years trying to trap John Bedford, the nephew he is certain murdered his aunt, Miss Ferguson, at Turret House. Bedford was never convicted, and Brent has invited his old friend Arthur Grange and the mystery writer Roberta Stone to witness his final scheme. Brent has rented the house, and Bedford has been drawn into a strange friendship with him. Brent has arranged a dinner on the anniversary of the murder, and Grange and Stone are asked to come armed and act as witnesses. This is a Suspense radio drama first broadcast on June 1, 1943, starring Donald Crisp and John Loder.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
