Casebook of Gregory Hood

The Adventure of the Sad Clown

by

The Casebook of Gregory Hood follows Gregory Hood, a San Francisco antiques dealer whose knowledge of art, history, and rare objects draws him into mysteries. With his friend and partner, Sanderson “Sandy” Taylor, Hood investigates puzzling cases that often begin with an unusual artifact, a suspicious transaction, or a question from one of his clients.

The program is a detective drama built around the pair’s conversations, inquiries, and deductions. Hood’s expertise gives the mysteries an antiquarian flavor, while Taylor provides a companionable presence as they pursue clues and encounter people connected to each case. The stories combine investigation with the atmosphere of a city shaped by its history and collections.

“The Adventure of the Sad Clown” is presented as an installment of the series. Listeners can expect a classic radio mystery centered on Hood’s distinctive work and the partnership that helps bring each case into focus.
