Bob Bailey stars as Johnny for five fascinating five-part serial adventures, and a collection of harrowing half-hour tales! Prepare the expense report!

No bigger fad swept across postwar radio than that of the hard-boiled private detective - and nobody had more fun with their wink-and-nudge take on the genre than the producers, writers, and cast of The Adventures of Sam Spade. Dashiell Hammett's legendary private eye had a sardonic sense of humor, which wavy-haired, rugged-voiced Howard Duff played to perfection.

Thanks!! Audible for offering a second collection
As someone who has been listening to audiobooks for almost 40 years. I was really happy that, Audible, offered a second collection of Jim French's, Harry Nile series. After listening to the first collection, Seattle Blues, I was instantly hooked and was praying that, Audible would offer a second collection. Phil Harper, playing Harry Nile, was second to none. The productions are excellent, and the stories are very entertaining.. No wonder, avid audiobook listeners, truly appreciate the genius of Jim French and the outstanding work that his team had produced. I hope, Audible, will offer more, Harry Nile collections in the future. Thanks!!
