Myron McCormick took home a Tony for his performance as gruff but lovable sailor Luther Billis in the original Broadway production of South Pacific, and before his premature passing at the age of 54 he logged several memorable turns on the stage and screen. We'll hear him as an archeologist who may have found a lost treasure in “Door of Gold” (originally aired on CBS on February 10, 1957) and as a mental patient who escapes from the hospital with revenge on his mind in “Madman of Manhattan” (originally aired on CBS on March 8, 1959). Plus, he plays detective in “No Time for Murder” from Crime Club (originally aired on Mutual on September 25, 1947).

Join host Victoria Carthew as she speaks with crime fiction author S.R. White on his latest novel, “Pacific Heights”.In the courtyard of the Pacific Heights building, a local waitress is found dead. Five apartments overlook the murder scene. Five people witnessed a crime take place. Finding the killer should be simple. Except none of the witnesses' stories match. They all saw something - from a different angle, at a different time. None of them saw everything. Anyone could be the killer. Detectives Carl "Bluey" Blueson and Lachlan Dyson, each with their own careers in peril, must solve what others assume is a straightforward case. But to unmask a killer they must unpick a complex puzzle - where the motivations of the witnesses are as mystifying as the crime itself.

QBD's host Victoria Carthew speaks with broadcaster and author Jane Caro about her latest suspenseful thriller, “Lyrebird”.Twenty years ago, ornithology student Jessica Weston filmed a lyrebird mimicking the dying screams of a woman in the Barrington Tops National Park. Terrified, she took her recordings to the Maitland police to report a murder. Despite support from newly minted detective, Megan Blaxland, no one was reported missing in the area and no body found, so Jessica's claims were mocked and dismissed. Twenty years later, a body is unearthed. Exactly where Jessica said it would be. Jessica and Megan are appalled that the dead woman, whose last moments were heard by only a lyrebird and her killer, has been ignored and forgotten for so long. They both feel they have let the victim down, and are determined to find the killer, whatever it takes. What they do not realise is it is not just their own lives that may be in danger.Purchase “Lyrebird” from your local QBD Books store or online today: https://www.qbd.com.au/lyrebird/jane-caro/9781761471537/ Follow along with QBD Books here: QBD Books on Facebook: www.facebook.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on Instagram: www.instagram.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@qbdbooksaustralia

Is Claire's disappearance connected with the body found next door thirteen years ago? Does Jamie's father, now grappling with dementia, know more about these events than he should? And then there's Tess, equal parts mysterious and charming, who just moved in at number thirty-five... As Jamie asks around, an unsettling picture begins to form.
