Tonight, we have a story of murder and mystery. A story of futuristic technology and old fashion police work. A story of women in blue fire, nuclear experimentation and lies and conspiracy. A story, about the greater good.
Proudly presenting “Twelve Times Zero” by Howard Browne, published in 1950. 
I really do hope you enjoy this 1950s murder mystery. If you would like to hear more of this kind of stuff, please let me know by leaving a a rating or review, and subscribing to whatever platform you are listening on.
