"The Lake Como Honeymoon Trunk Murder" by R.O. Scallan. When an American newlywed bride's body turns up in a trunk in an Italian lake, police expect to find the groom's body to be floating nearby. Alas, not a double murder, but a honeymoon squabble gone too far. "The Brighton Trunk Murders" (35:23) by Peter Levins tells how the discovery of an American trunk murder leads to three more in Great Britain.
