The series chronicles the adventures of the notorious rogue before his famous appearance in the classic film, The Third Man. In this story, entitled “Ticket to Tangier,” Lime answers an enigmatic message inviting him to Tangier. This exotic locale provides the perfect backdrop for a tale of whirlwind romance and cunning deceits! Can Lime turn this mysterious situation to his advantage? Which version of Lime will show up for this episode, impish prankster or charming sociopath? Is this too much zither or just the right amount? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!
