The Adventures of Frank Race

The Adventure of the Vanishing Favorite

English

Frank Race is a former wartime intelligence agent who now works as an international insurance investigator. His cases take him across borders and into situations where a missing person, valuable object, or suspicious claim can lead to danger and deception.

The series blends detective mystery with adventure. Race follows clues, questions people with something to hide, and relies on his experience and resourcefulness as he untangles each case. The stories move through a world of intrigue, crime, and high-stakes investigations, with the radio drama bringing its settings and confrontations to life through dialogue and sound.

In “The Adventure of the Vanishing Favorite,” the title points to a mystery involving someone or something that has disappeared. The program’s appeal lies in its brisk combination of investigation and action, with Frank Race’s professional composure set against the uncertainty and danger of the cases he takes on.
