Two years ago, died Commissioner Reynolds half-brother Adam, but only now the last will of the former detainee was handed over to him by a notary. The retired Commissioner suspects that his brother was trying to tell the hiding his loot from a bank robbery to him, but since the document was written as a mystery text, the decipherment is not so easy. So he turns to his old friend, the ???. A new venue takes the stage in the extensive ??? - series, because this sequence leads the boys from his native California in a small town in Pennsylvania. A US state which has not yet been allowed to serve as Handlungsort. The crime story is all in all nothing special, but solid thriller average. You get to do it and a little more subtle action, namely a decades burning underground mine with a more or less interesting puzzles message. The plot is on the whole okay, but is not the absolute surprise Hammer. Unfortunately, the figure of the villain very little space for action and talk time is granted. Attenuates both the power factor and the audio pleasure. . It was nice that one again makes a series character with police chief retired Samuel Reynolds, the one still in the early days of ??? is - knows row (last in 154 / Embassy of the underworld), even if this one rather a walk-on role is granted. Conclusion: 08/15 radio play without more recognizable.
