What happens
Mrs. Emily Rogers, a quiet widow in the town of Hilton, answers an advertisement for a position with a small publishing business. Her employer, Mr. Bruce, arranges for her to host a man named Paul Stevens, a writer who is due to arrive in town. When Mrs. Rogers meets the man at a roadside corner, she learns that the real Paul Stevens has been killed in a hit-and-run, and the man with her is an impostor. This episode of Suspense, the CBS radio drama starring Lee Patrick, aired on November 16, 1958. The story follows Mrs. Rogers as she tries to work out who she is dealing with and what he intends.

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.
