2 Lo

By: Masterman, Walter S.

"2 Lo" is a gripping mystery set during the early days of radio broadcasting, weaving a tale of suspense and technological intrigue. The plot centers on a chilling event: a murder committed in a locked room, yet heard by thousands of listeners over the wireless. As the call sign 2LO crackles through the airwaves, the broadcast of a play becomes the backdrop for a real-life tragedy that baffles the public and the authorities alike.

Superintendent Sinclair of Scotland Yard is tasked with unraveling the impossible crime. Walter S. Masterman expertly navigates the intersection of modern communication and classic detective work, exploring how the advent of radio changes the nature of evidence and witness testimony. The narrative maintains a brisk pace, capturing the atmosphere of 1920s London while delivering a complex puzzle that challenges the conventions of the genre.

This work stands as a significant example of Golden Age detective fiction, blending the locked-room trope with the then-novelty of mass media. "2 Lo" offers readers a clever procedural that highlights the author's ability to craft atmospheric thrillers rooted in the social and technological shifts of the early twentieth century.
