Paul Temple and the Alex Affair written by Francis Durbridge performed by Peter Coke, Marjorie Westbury and BBC Radio Full-Cast Drama Team on Audio CD (Abridged)

For thirty years the fictional crime novelist and detective Paul Temple, together with his Fleet Street journalist wife Steve, solved case after case in one of BBC Radio's most popular series.

Paul's attempts to unravel the mystery take him to a psychiatrist's consulting room, a rendezvous in London's dockland, a hotel in Canterbury, and many other places before the denouement in a deserted mill and the Temples' elegant flat in London.
