This is quite an original little mystery with Ruth Terry taking centre stage as "Jan Cornell". She hosts one of those weekly radio shows that tells stories of cold-case crime. One week, though, with ratings dwindling and the sponsors getting tetchy, she hits on the idea of the show solving a real crime - by next week! Her boss loves the idea so now allied with her fellow radio detective "Jerome" (Frank Albertson) they embark on some sleuthing. All too quickly, though, they become embroiled in a fresh murder - one of their prime suspects, no less, and who knows if they might be next! This moves along nicely with plenty of creepy scenarios to keep the interest piqued and the nerves tingling but the audio! Yikes, but were the microphones in the studio next door? Terry and Albertson do make for quite an engaging duo and the story has just enough jeopardy to keep us guessing right until the broadcast. I bet she'll never accidentally lean on the lift buttons again, either!

Hero2007-09-08After six years away, D.A. Kuryu Kohei (Kimura Takuya) returns to his former Josai branch of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, just in time for a brewing storm.

The suspect, a blonde-haired security guard, had already confessed to manslaughter, but he suddenly retracts his confession and takes things to court with big-shot defense attorney Gamo (Matsumoto Koshiro). It turns out that the security guard is a key alibi witness in a high-profile political corruption case, and the results of his case will directly affect the next. With the media, politicians, and a special investigative team breathing down his back, Kohei must handle the case with care (and flair) to find out the truth.More...
