Sensitive information is being leaked to the enemy, and the department of counter espionage has sent in Humphrey Neyland to try and discover who is responsible. As the picture becomes clearer to Neyland, he needs Superintendent Hamp's help to reel in the perpetrators. But the Superintendent is uncomfortable at the lack of hard evidence. Anton Lesser reads JB Priestley's atmospheric war-time thriller, set in a Midlands town during the blackout. Abridged and produced by Jane Marshall Productions for BBC Radio 4.
