This feed features detective programs that only have one or two programs in circulation and are not collected in another group feed (except for Lady Sleuths.) Some of these were unaired pilots, others are the straggling surviving episodes of programs that ran for years. Some such as Dyke Easter or Homicide O'Kane are completely forgotten. Others such as Father Brown or the Lone Wolf have a long storied history in other mediums, but only these scant few stories remain from their radio runs. Your host Adam Graham is your guide to these rare and unique programs
