Show Notes – “Death Takes a Working Day” & “The SS Malay Trader Matter”

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar (Double Feature)

DEATH TAKES A WORKING DAY

In this tense and tightly wound Johnny Dollar mystery, the “man with the action‑packed expense account” is called in when a seemingly ordinary workday turns deadly. A man collapses under suspicious circumstances, and what first appears to be a tragic accident quickly reveals layers of motive, opportunity, and quiet deception. Johnny’s investigation leads him through office politics, hidden grudges, and a trail of clues that suggest someone carefully engineered the perfect workplace murder. With sharp dialogue, clever turns, and Dollar’s trademark dry wit, “Death Takes a Working Day” delivers a classic blend of suspense and human drama — reminding listeners that danger often hides in the most familiar places.

THE SS MALAY TRADER MATTER

Johnny Dollar’s next assignment takes him to the docks, where the cargo ship SS Malay Trader becomes the center of a high‑stakes insurance investigation. A valuable shipment has gone missing, and the circumstances surrounding the vessel’s last voyage don’t add up. Was it theft, sabotage, or something far more dangerous As Johnny interviews crew members, navigates maritime red tape, and uncovers conflicting accounts of what happened aboard the ship, he finds himself piecing together a puzzle that stretches from the waterfront to the shadowy corners of international trade. “The SS Malay Trader Matter” is atmospheric, gritty, and filled with the kind of nautical intrigue that made Johnny Dollar’s globe‑spanning cases so memorable.
