Description

A chilling double tragedy strikes the opulent Greene mansion in New York, leaving a household shattered and the city’s headlines ablaze. The sudden, brutal deaths of several family members turn a once‑grand estate into a maze of secrets, with whispers of hidden motives and a missing revolver that deepens the mystery. From the elegant drawing rooms to the locked library, every corner seems to conceal a clue waiting to be uncovered.

Enter the sharp‑minded amateur sleuth Philo Vance, whose unconventional methods clash with the city’s police and district attorney. Alongside a cast of staff, physicians, and detectives, Vance pieces together forensic evidence, cryptic footprints, and puzzling wills. As the investigation unfolds, listeners are drawn into a tense cat-and‑mouse game where each revelation raises new questions, promising a compelling blend of classic detective work and psychological intrigue.
