Box 13 presents “Book of Poems,” episode 9 of the syndicated mystery series Box 13, originally broadcast October 17, 1948. Alan Ladd stars as newspaper reporter-turned-investigator Dan Holiday, with Sylvia Picker as Suzy.
An anonymously mailed, worn volume of Sir Walter Scott’s poems arrives at Box 13, its binding arranged to reveal a particular passage. The cryptic gift draws Holiday toward Fair Melrose and troubling questions surrounding a fatal fire he reported on years before. The original story is credited to Frank Hertosig, and the episode was directed by Russell Hughes.
Box 13 presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
