Darkness and the Devil Behind Me: Audio

In December 1923, Esther Todd was a lovely young pianist, a rising star. One month later, she was on the Most Wanted List. She had vanished along the snowy streets of a stormy night in Harlem and thieves had hit the home of her society patron, pulling off a million- dollar heist.

Were the disappearance and the robbery coincidence or conspiracy? Three years later, the puzzles remained unsolved. Then Esther’s sister, Ruth, begs society columnist Lanie Price to dedicate her Christmas column to the case. Maybe someone, somewhere will remember something. Seeking fresh material, Lanie starts asking hard questions, the dangerous kind, just about guaranteed to get her killed.
