Originally Aired: June 7, 1945

In Suspense #144, “Two Sharp Knives,” a late-night poker game leads Chief of Police Scott Anderson and his loyal assistant Wally Shane straight into a tangled web of deceit, murder, and betrayal. When a wanted man from Philadelphia steps off the train in Deerwood, Anderson thinks he’s just doing his job. But the man—Lester Furman—is dead by morning, an apparent suicide in his jail cell, and nothing about his arrest adds up. As the investigation unravels, secrets are exposed: a forged reward notice, a missing wife, and a plot worth half a million dollars. In a shocking climax, Anderson discovers the killer is much closer than he ever imagined. A taut, twisty drama by Dashiell Hammett, expertly performed by John Payne and Frank McHugh.
