Alan Ladd is Dan Holiday, the
mystery writer who plays detective to get story material, in
Box 13. The syndicated series found Holiday soliciting
danger with an ad offering himself as an adventurer for hire – one
who would “go anywhere, do anything.” Answering those letters
addressed to Box 13 meant Holiday could be volunteering to put a
target on his back or to solve an impossible crime. We’ll hear Ladd
in “Much Too Lucky" and "The Perfect Crime."
