Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

"Haven't you ever heard of an embezzling father-in-law?" Ellery grinned. "I'd as soon suspect myself! Dave's absolutely honest. He and my wife and her sister Sheila are the most upright people I've ever known!" Ellery felt the first faint prickings of the cvuriosity that always came when a puzzle began to fascinate him. A crime that — ^if Weaver weren't mistaken — could have been committed by only two possible men, one of them a millionaire and one a paragon of honesty — this sounded like an impossibility, and Ellery doted on impossibilities. "Won't you please investigate for me — confidentially?" Weaver pleaded. "Why, yes," Ellery agreed, "I rather think I shall." During the following week he made a brief visit to the brokerage firm of Weaver & McKay. Posing as an investor, he conferred again with Weaver, and met David Robinson, the office manager; investigated the office safe; wandered about Weaver's private office with typical Queen insouciance. Later, away from the Weaver & McKay office, he paid one or two other calls. . . . On New Year's Eve Ellery had an unexpected visitor — Steve McKay, Weaver's partner. He arrived just as Ellery, Nikki, and Ellery's father.
