Hi listeners, John here. I just wanted to give you a heads up about a brand new podcast

from the makers of Short History of. If you enjoy detective shows and crime mysteries

on TV, then you will love Detective Stone's Sleep. It's the new Who Done It podcast.

Detective Stone's Sleep takes you beyond the police tape to shadow the real detectives

who worked history's most intriguing cases. The show features true crime stories from all over

the world and from different historical periods. I, in the episode I'm about to play, will

travel to the Bahamas. It's 1943 and we're shadowing the most prolific private investigator

of all time, Ray Schindler, as he sets out to crack the biggest case of his career.

At the start, it looks like a classic murder investigation, but as Ray digs deeper,

he'll find himself smack bang in the middle of a conspiracy involving Nazis,

corrupt tycoons, and if you can believe it, the former King of England, Edward VIII.

If you enjoy this taste-reparzoad search, detectives don't sleep and hit follow to get new

episodes every Tuesday or listen at Noiser.com. Part 2 of Murder in Paradise is live now on the

Detectives Don't Sleep Podcast.

From a window on the third floor, you can see the surface of the Hudson and the middle distance,

glinting in the sun. Inside the office, a fan slices the humid air and rearranges it,

without doing much the lower the temperature. This is a true story, despite how fantastical it might sound,

and it begins right here in 1943 on this blistering July day at the headquarters of Ray Schindler.

And there, across the room, reclining in his chair amidst his papers and files, is the man himself.
