A Case of Premeditation

Where a former prison guard tries his hand at blackmail, to his cost...

The Echo of a Mutiny

On a lonely lighthouse, a man, hiding from the world, has a chance encounter with the one person he least expected to ever see, and vice-versa...

A Wastrel's Romance

Down on his luck, and living by his wits, a disgraced former officer attends a Spinsters ball under false pretences and looking for an easy score to put food on the table, but a chance encounter leaves him running for his life...

The Old Lag

A reformed criminal comes to Dr Thorndyke, claiming he's been framed for murder. The fingerprint evidence seems conclusive... but is all as it appears?

Narrated by Michael Ward.
