They Died of Hunger, Their Pockets Full of Cash! | What Was Killing These Old Men?

“The Old Die Rich”: They found him in an alley, dead of hunger, with seventeen thousand dollars sewn into the lining of his coat. He wasn't the first. He wouldn't be the last. Every one of them old. Every one of them starved. Every one of them carrying a bank book whose entries went back fifty years — in ink only months old. Private investigator Mark Weldon has chased the pattern across the city, and the pattern keeps leading back to a brownstone on Eldridge Avenue, and a beautiful red-haired physicist with ice-blue eyes and a want-ad that only hires men nobody will miss. Her name is May Roberts. Her laboratory hums behind a locked door. And the old men who walk through it come home rich — just in time to die. | #RetroRadio #WeirdDarkness | EP0634
