Whispers in the Dark - A Mick & Mack Mystery
Tonight on Ontario Cold Cases—Whodunnit Wednesday and a Mick & Mack Mystery.
Halloween, 1950. The Royal Ontario Museum sleeps under a restless sky. Inside, a night watchman hears whispers that call his name.
Detectives Mick McCathie and Mack MacNeely meet Professor Arpad Korda—gothic as a cathedral—and his prize: a medieval manuscript that claims the dead walk where their likenesses dwell.
At the séance, candles shudder. A glass breaks. Then the lights die.
When power returns, a wax vampire stands in a new pose, its lips stained red. A guard lies pale with two punctures in his neck.
By morning, reason pushes back: the manuscript’s metallic ink hints at old poisons; staff who handled it fall ill. In the rotunda, the dome’s acoustics carry whispers across the chamber—exactly the trick someone used to turn fear into chaos.
That night, Mick and Mack stage a second séance. In the dark, they catch a rival scholar disguised among the wax figures, reaching for the manuscript.
But the final word belongs to the book itself. In Korda’s gloved hands, the parchment ignites—no wires, no spark—burning to ash as if it chose its own ending.
Curse or chemistry, trick or truth—Whispers in the Dark leaves one question behind: when history looks back at us… what, exactly, is staring?

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
