Description

A collection of bite‑size mysteries invites listeners to become the detective, testing the same instincts a seasoned investigator would use. Each case is presented as a concise “detectogram,” a puzzle built on careful observation, human psychology and the occasional twist of motive. The foreword frames the experience as a mental workout, encouraging you to think like the criminal as well as the cop.

Guided by the seasoned Chief Inspector Kelley and the brilliant Professor Fordney, the stories blend academic insight with street‑wise sleuthing. Their dialogue shows how simple, well‑honed reasoning often outpaces elaborate schemes, offering a clear window into the mind of both offender and investigator. As you follow each scenario, you’ll sharpen your own analytical skills while enjoying the satisfying click of a well‑crafted puzzle.

About the author

H. A. (Harold Austin) Ripley

H. A. (Harold Austin) Ripley

b. 1896

A Hollywood writer and publicist whose career touched film, theater, and celebrity journalism, he is remembered today partly through his family’s later ties to the entertainment world. Though not widely documented as an author in his own right, surviving records place him in the orbit of American show business in the early to mid-20th century.
