Evidence
In a scorching stretch of Texas a weary traveler bumps into Jimmy Calton, a wiry mechanic with a tin‑lizzy humming to life under the relentless sun. As they strap a pony to the back of the rattling machine, Jimmy’s quick banter about cigarettes, shortcuts and the art of lying sets a tone that feels part western road trip and part cerebral back‑alley. The two set off toward the town’s coroner, where the recent shooting of old Abe Martin has already sparked rumors that the notorious Harry Temple is to blame.
Along the dusty road, Jimmy’s philosophical tirades about truth, evidence and the laziness of “good lies” weave through the narrative, prompting the narrator to question how much of what he’s been told is genuine. As the tin‑lizzy lurches over ruts and rocks, listeners are drawn into a world where harsh heat, cracked morality and a looming mystery converge, inviting you to ride along and decide what—or who—is really responsible for the murder that set this uneasy partnership in motion.

1896–1975
A pioneering voice of early science fiction, Murray Leinster imagined parallel worlds, alien encounters, and networked computers long before they became familiar ideas. His inventive stories combined bold concepts with the fast-moving energy of classic pulp adventure.
