From her third-floor window, Elsie Moran sees a man leave a Brooklyn violin workshop carrying a green instrument case. A sudden noise makes him pause. Later, violin music drifts across the courtyard, and Elsie closes her curtains for the night.
By morning, instrument repairer Samuel Park is dead.
As Detective Thomas Dawson investigates, an apparently accidental fall gives way to troubling evidence, unanswered questions, and a valuable instrument that is nowhere to be found. Upstairs, Elsie has written down what she saw. But telling the truth means stepping out of the safety of her quiet routine.
Presented by Patricia Dawson and brought to you by Brooklyn Origins, The Witness Upstairs is a short crime mystery about watchful neighbors, guarded secrets, and the courage it takes to speak.
