Boston Blackie is a fictional character who has been on both sides of the law. As originally created by author Jack Boyle, he was a safecracker — a hardened criminal who had served time in a California prison. Prowling the underworld as a detective, Boston Blackie was “an enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friend.” The Boston Blackie radio series began June 23, 1944 on NBC.
