NICK HARRIS, DETECTIVE: ALTAR OF SACRIFICE (MAY 30, 1939)

 Nick Harris Detectives (established 1906) is the oldest USA owned detective agency, founded in 1906.  Harris was a former police reporter for the LA Times who was asked to join the LAPD; he left to form his own detective agency and Professional Detective School, solving "even the  most baffling of crimes."  His reputation grew through a series of public  speeches and newspaper articles about true crime to the point that he began his own true crime radio show, usually airing twice a week, from 1923 until 1942, when he passed away.  The show covered all types of crimes, all supposedly true -- but I cannot speak to how "true" each episode was.

"Altar of Sacrifice" explores a series of flower shop robberies and the strange  motive behind them.

It's time to dig out your deerstalker and calabash pipe because the game is afoot!
