Boston, December 1950. In the Lost Property office at South Station, Daisy Quill can feel anything that somebody wants back: a wedding ring, a child's mittens, a watch pawned six years ago on Hanover Street. Twelve-year-old Lottie Marsh has been missing for four days, and her father is begging for help. Nell Harrow, the policewoman at the basement desk for the cases nobody else will file, comes to take Daisy to headquarters, with Jonah, the man with no pulse who hears every heartbeat in a room. There they learn that a car is coming for Jonah at nine the next morning, to take him to the city's health department for three days of what is called a short clinical examination. And Daisy can feel everything lost in Boston except that one little girl.
From the series Special Matters, the first of the Mono Noir Super Series: a continuing, episodic superhero audio drama in which the same characters return, grow and carry what happened into every new case. This is S01E03; the story continues in order. About forty-eight minutes, performed by a full multi-voice AI cast with an original score and sound design.
An original work of fiction. All names, characters and dialogue are fictional; the words, actions, motives and private lives of every character, including the police, the city officials and the doctors, are invented for drama. Where a real city, neighborhood, street, railway station or public body is mentioned, its part in this story is invented, and no character in this story is a real person. This is a work of fiction, not a factual account of any real person or institution.
Setting: Boston, December 1950 — with South Station and the South End.
