detectives. If you've not already, I do encourage you to check out my book. All I needed to know

I learned from Colombo or all I needed to know I learned from Dragnet. Each of these two e-books

examines the careers and histories of seven great fictional detectives and a lot of lessons that

can be learned from them. They are available as e-books or also as audiobooks through audible.com

or the Apple Store and you can find all my books, audiobooks and e-books over at store.greatdetectives.net.

Well, now it is time for this week's episode of Following. The original air date is November

the 28th, 1946 and the title is The Blue Lighty Murder Case.

Is that you, Vance? Yes, Markham. Well, the district attorney is behind a locked door.

Good evening, Vance. Hello, Markham. All this secrecy indicates an occasion I should enjoy. Am I

correct? It's quite possible, Vance. Please sit down. Thank you.

Well, you sent for me, Markham. I'm here. Shall we ask your other visitor to come in here

from the next room so we can get started? You knew I had someone waiting next door, certainly.

You wouldn't lock yourself in, Markham. As long as I've known you, I've never seen you display

Boom. I only surprised that you didn't know that, too.

It's an inform of Vance, a stool pigeon. Come in, Ricker.
