    EPISODE 1

    The Case of the Pickled Corpse

    On October 16th, 1920 the body of a missing bank employee is discovered within New Jersey’s sprawling pine barrens. His clothes are all wet, despite being some distance from the nearest stream, and he’s been robbed of over $40,000 in cash. Strangest of all his body seems to have been somehow…pickled. This is a case for Detective Ellis H Parker, often credited as being “America’s Sherlock Holmes.” Parker will need all his considerable deductive skills, forensic expertise, and natural intuition to solve a mystery that unfolds in the heart of Prohibition-era America.

    The Dulcimer Murder

    In 1913 Chicago’s first female detective, Alice Clement, gets called out to the slums to investigate the death of a young woman. At first glance, it looks like the girl died of typhoid fever. A tragic but all too common ending for Chicago’s impoverished population. But Detective Clement has a hunch that there’s more to the story. Especially when she spies a dulcimer - an expensive stringed instrument - perched in the corner of the victim’s squalid apartment. Taking out her magnifying glass she sees something incredible. The strings….have been poisoned… But who would go to so much trouble to kill some poor girl? Answering that question will take everything Detective Clement’s got. She’ll go undercover and use her incredible powers of deduction to unmask a killer hiding in plain sight. It’s a case that will take the nation by storm. Solidifying Alice Clement’s reputation as one of America’s greatest sleuths.

    The Nazi Art Mystery (Part 1 of 3)

    In 2014, Dutch art detective Arthur Brand hears about a controversial artwork that someone is offering for sale on the black market - a pair of monumental bronze horses by one of Hitler’s favourite sculptors. Like everyone else, Arthur thought the statues had been destroyed in the war. So are they genuine? Or is the whole thing a daring hoax? And who is behind it? Arthur fears the sellers are violent neo-Nazis who will use the proceeds to fund their terrorist activities. To thwart their plans, he must enter a shadowy world of dodgy art dealers and Nazi sympathisers.  A Noiser production, written by Roger Morris For ad-free listening, exclusive content and early access to new episodes, join Noiser+.

He travels to the site of a former Red Army base in East Germany where he makes a startling discovery. Now it’s not just neo-Nazis he has to contend with, but former KGB agents. The more he learns, the more he realises that there are powerful people involved in this sale. People who will do anything to stop him from exposing them. Is he in over his head? And if that’s the case, who can he turn to for help?    A Noiser production, written by Roger Morris For ad-free listening, exclusive content and early access to new episodes, join Noiser+.

    The year-long hunt for Hitler’s favourite statues reaches its finale, as art detective Arthur Brand closes in on the shadowy individuals behind their sale. In a high-stakes move, he meets - and secretly records - the middleman representing the sellers. He then confronts a genuine Nazi princess to try and find out more about the sinister organisation he believes will profit from the sale. Throw in a mysterious secret order straight out of the pages of a Dan Brown novel, and you’re all set for a tense showdown. The question is, can Arthur put together the pieces of the puzzle and find the horses before they disappear forever?    A Noiser production, written by Roger Morris  For ad-free listening, exclusive content and early access to new episodes, join Noiser+.
