Hello and welcome to another episode of Nostologic Mystery Radio.

I'm your host Stevie Kay, and it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yesteryear.

For today's episode, I bring you The Adventures of Philip Marlowe, episode titled The Lady and Meek, originally aired April 30th, 1949, which is the story of a mixed-up girl and her mixed-up life and her really strange sister.

So sit back and relaxed, and I hope you enjoy this nostalgic mystery radio.

Thank you for listening.

The thick fog that clung to Los Angeles made searching for the girl who was going to kill herself slow and uneasy.

But in the end, I'd have settled for that and more, because murder happened twice before I found the

lady in Mink. From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction, comes his

most famous character in The Adventures as Philip Marlowe,

we bring you tonight's exciting story, The Lady in Mink.

The Lady in the afternoon.

But the dense, billowing fog that was heavy over everything, like a huge, thick hand, said it could be midnight.

And Los Angeles could be London and May, December. So when I got out of my car and walked toward the fuzz of red neon that

marked the hotel cocktail lounge where I was to meet my new client, Grace Tyler, I felt all

alone and a little sorry that I wasn't in some nice, cozy nine-to-five business that would leave me heading for home now.

And maybe an evening with people who like to laugh.

But when I was inside the lounge, which was imitation hunting lodge and friendly, I perked up some.

My client was young and almost pretty, with dark shingled hair dressed in somber gray, and wore not enough makeup.

Her eyes were swollen and red from crying.

When I introduced myself, she tried to come right to the point.

Mr. Mallow, I have to find my sister.

Oh, take it easy, honey.
