The Radio Murders: The Collectors - Chapter 20 - The EmpressChief Herman Jeffries looked at his watch. It was 1:30 a.m. The involuntary gesture was also a sign that he was nearly tapped out for the night. Never look at your watch; sends the wrong message. He was beyond caring. This wasn’t a game.

Word had spread fast that the evening show was the first from the Chicago talk station to attain national status.
