Suspense #292, "Crossfire," brings the acclaimed RKO radio picture to life as Captain Finley investigates the brutal beating death of Joseph Samuels in a Washington, D.C. apartment. The case centers on a group of soldiers who met Samuels in a bar earlier that evening. When Montgomery returns to the apartment looking for his buddy Mitchell, he walks into a murder scene. Mitchell's wallet is found behind the sofa cushions, making him the prime suspect, but Mitchell has vanished. As Finley digs deeper, he brings in Sergeant Keeley, Mitchell's roommate and closest friend, who insists Mitchell isn't capable of murder.
Keeley reveals that Mitchell has been struggling with loneliness and separation from his wife, prompting Keeley to call her and arrange for her to fly to Washington that very night. As the investigation unfolds with Mitchell still missing and his wife en route, Finley must determine whether the troubled soldier is a killer or simply another victim of circumstance. With Montgomery's testimony and Mitchell's wallet as evidence, the captain faces mounting pressure to solve the case before the trail goes cold.
