Synopsis
On a hot June morning in 1920s Manhattan, Alvin Benson, a well-known Wall Street broker and man about town, is found shot through the head in the armchair of his West Forty-eighth Street home. The clues point in every direction: a lady's handbag on the mantel, a pair of long white gloves, and a crowd of suspects with excellent reasons to want him dead.
District Attorney John F.-X. Markham brings along his friend Philo Vance, a wealthy aesthete who prefers art and psychology to fingerprints and alibis. While Sergeant Heath chases the obvious suspects, Vance insists that a crime reveals its author the way a painting reveals its painter.
First published in 1926, The Benson Murder Case introduced Philo Vance and launched one of the best-selling detective series of the Golden Age. This unabridged edition is performed by a full cast, with a distinct voice for Vance, Markham, Heath and every suspect. Produced by EZY Studios.
