Nick Carter Master Detective (old time radio)
Before Philip Marlowe, before Sam Spade, there was the father of all American private eyes: Nick Carter, Master Detective. Lon Clark stars as this two-fisted crime-fighting defender of justice in the 16 digitally remastered radio shows presented here.Nick has deductive genius, a knack for disguises, and a fast right hook, all of which comes in handy as he solves an interesting variety of cases. He also has a team that he can depend on: Secretary Patsy Bowen (Helen Choate and Charlotte Manson), newspaper reporter Scubby Wilson (John Kane), Police Sergeant Matty Mathieson (Ed Lattimer), and garrulous old Waldo McGlynn (Humphrey Davis), who yearns for the good old days when crimes were solved with a swift swing of the nightstick.Includes a Program Guide by radio historian Elizabeth McLeod.Episodes Include: CD 1: The Glass Coffin (or The Mystery of the Voodoo Curse) 09-27-43, State's Prison Evidence (or The Mystery of the Midnight Murder) 10-18-43; CD 2: The Drug Ring Murder (or The Mystery of the Left-Handed Killer) 11-10-43, The Substitute Bride (or The Mystery of the Night Ferry) 11-17-43; CD 3: The Professor's Secret (or The Mystery of the Z-Rays) 04-01-44, Eight Records of Death (or The Mystery of the Unclaimed Box) 04-02-46; CD 4: The Case of the Disappearing Corpse 04-09-46, The Case of the Demented Daughter 05-28-46; CD 5: The Case of the Dictaphone Murder 06-04-46, The Case of the Exploded Alibi 12-07-47; CD 6: The Case of the Missing Street 12-28-47, The Case of the Devil's Left Eye 01-04-48; CD 7: The Case of the Last Old Timer 03-14-48, The Case of the Magic Rope 03-21-48; CD 8: The Case of the Star of Evil 04-04-48, The Case of the Phantom Shoplifter 12-25-49
