By Keith October 22, 2026Detective and Mystery, DragnetNo Comments

Joe Friday interrogates a captured gang member to track down a major auto-theft and drug-smuggling ring operating across the Mexican border. With a fresh tip and stakeouts in place, the detectives close in for a suspenseful finish.

A sepia-toned illustration framed in an ornate oval. It shows a serious man in 1940s attire (images based on AI rendition of Orson Welles from this.) holding a letter, while a gloved hand points at it. The background depicts a cityscape through windows and a large bank vault door. Text at the top reads "THE BLACK MUSEUM - A LETTER ep24, 520612." At the bottom, it says "STARRING ORSON WELLES." The overall style is vintage, evoking a noir or old-time radio drama theme.
