Hello and welcome to another episode of nostalgic mystery radio.

I'm your host Stevie K.

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 Pigeons Blood, originally aired June 11, 1949, where 30 rubies worth $150,000 go missing, but murder isn't.

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

Thank you for listening.

Get this and get it straight.

Crimes are suckers road.

Those who travel had wind up in the gutter, the prison of the grave.

There's no other end, but they never learn.

This one had soft brown eyes and an accent,

and she came to town with a job to do.

But before it was done, death

had struck three times. Then she was gone. And all because of 30 drops of pigeon's blood,

worth 150,000 bucks. From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of mystery, comes

his most famous character and crime's most deadly enemy.

As we present,

The Adventures of Philip Marlowe.

Now, with Gerald Moore, starred as Philip Marlowe,

we bring you tonight's exciting story, The Pigeons Blood.

The Pigeons Blood. At 5 o'clock of any weekday afternoon,

the lobby of the started building in downtown Los Angeles is a mess of milling office workers.
