Mr. Chameleon

The Case of the Murdered Gold Digger

English · Radio

Mr. Chameleon is a crime-mystery radio series centered on a detective who uses disguises and assumed identities to get close to suspects. By changing his appearance and manner, he can move through different social worlds while investigating a case, often drawing out information that would remain hidden from a more conventional investigator.

The program presents self-contained mysteries, with each story following the clues, interviews, and deceptions that lead toward a solution. Its central pleasure is watching the detective’s transformations become part of the investigation: a new persona can open doors, test a suspect’s story, or expose a contradiction.

The series combines the suspense of a whodunit with the theatrical fun of disguise and impersonation. Its title promises a resourceful sleuth whose shifting identities keep both the people in the story and the listener guessing.
