1942-09-23 A Passage to Benares

Adapted from T. S. Stribling’s 1926 short story of the same name.

The story is about the investigation of the murder in Trinidad of a young bride a few hours after the marriage. An American tourist is caught up in the investigation.

NOTE: Christine Miller, author of the Escape and Suspense! blog, reminds us that some of the cultural language would be considered offensive today, but to stick with the story because it “shifts into a different level of consciousness.”
