Description
Steve Punt continues his investigations as Radio 4's very own private detective.
In 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II, the reclusive actress Ada Constance Kent disappeared from the village of Fingringhoe in rural Essex.

Steve Punt interrogates the witnesses and assesses the evidence.
Producer: Paul Kobrak.
