January, 1948. Pete Delaney tends bar on Figueroa the same way he always has - honest pours, no questions asked. Then a regular named Harold Voss dies at his desk at City Hall, and Pete opens the envelope Harold left behind the bar two months earlier with instructions not to open it unless he didn't come back.

Inside: eight photographs, a safe deposit key, and a letter implicating some of the most powerful men in Los Angeles in eleven years of stolen public money. Pete didn't ask for any of it. Now people in clean suits are breaking his windows.

He calls Jack Malone.

Death Wears a Blue Ribbon is the third episode of The Midnight Frequency, an original old-time radio drama in the tradition of classic noir. Each case stands alone - no need to start at Episode 1.
