Summary: The series of Edward D. Hoch radio plays that EQMM has been running intermittently over the past several years concludes with this episode. Based on Hoch stories that originally appeared in EQMM, starring series character Dr. Sam Hawthorne, the plays were produced and recorded by radioman Dave Amaral in the 1970s. In this case, adapted from the January 1977 EQMM story “The Problem of the Church Steeple,” Dr. Sam must find the explanation for a murder in a church steeple on Christmas Day.
