- The Flame Blue Glove (1949)
Shadow never liked Dutch or working for his detective agency. She’d done her final case and thought she was through with Dutch when she married Jimmy Conway but then one day Dutch turned up wanting her to work on a case for him, a closed case that had been nagging him as he still felt that it was murder. A case that Shadow had done the groundwork for, the Conway case! Dutch was convinced that Shadow’s husband had killed his first wife but Shadow was sure that he was clean and decent.

About Night Shift Radio Presents: SUSPENSE!
From the publisher's feed
This is a rebroadcast of the original Suspense! Radio Show. Suspense is a radio drama series broadcast on CBS Radio from 1940 through 1962. One of the premier drama programs of the Golden Age of Radio, was subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills" and focused on suspense thriller-type scripts, usually featuring leading Hollywood actors of the era. Approximately 945 episodes were broadcast during its long run, and more than 900 still exist.
Suspense went through several major phases, characterized by different hosts, sponsors, and director/producers. Formula plot devices were followed for all but a handful of episodes: the protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a threatening or bizarre situation; solutions were "withheld until the last possible second"; and evildoers were usually punished in the end.
In its early years, the program made only occasional forays into science fiction and fantasy. Notable exceptions include adaptations of Curt Siodmak's Donovan's Brain and H. P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror", but by the late 1950s, such material was regularly featured. - via Wikipedia
