Bullitt

[Couch Potato]

BBC Radio 4, Saturday Play 24th October 2009 Dramatization of Robert L Pike's gritty detective story, set in New York's rough 52nd Precinct in 1963. Lieutenant Clancy, head throbbing from days without sleep, is assigned to protect important Mafia witness Johnny Rossi. But when he is found dead, Clancy has only a matter of hours to find the killer before his enemy, Assistant District Attorney Chalmers, finds out.

Had a listen last night. This is definitely one of the better radio detective stories; really taut and fast paced.
Thanks for sharing.

I agree, this is one of the better programs from the BBC of late.
