Suspense presents “The Story of Markham’s Death,” originally broadcast on CBS on October 2, 1947. This local archival recording is identified as episode 2. Kirk Douglas stars in a drama written by Robert Platt and directed by producer William Spier.
Mystery novelist Phil Markham, trapped in writer’s block, travels to postwar London in search of inspiration. Amid the city’s bomb-damaged streets, he finds a cache of papers linked to Edgar Allan Poe—an discovery that draws him into a tense story of ambition, secrecy, and literary temptation.
Suspense presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
