Night Comes Riding: A Woman Torn, a Killer Reborn

Originally Aired: May 22, 1947

In Suspense #246, “Night Comes Riding,” Mildred Anderson endures a loveless, oppressive marriage, haunted by the mysterious death of her nephew. When a soft-spoken stranger named Duncan Shaw appears, offering comfort and kindness, she sees a chance at escape—and perhaps at love. But Duncan has secrets of his own, and a buried vendetta against her husband. As the shadows deepen and tensions mount, betrayal, murder, and madness converge in a tale that gallops toward a grim climax. A psychologically rich noir about guilt, manipulation, and the terrifying price of freedom.
