It Walks by Night is an Australian radio serial by Max Afford featuring his detective hero, Jeffrey Blackburn.
("It Walks by Night" was also the title of an episode of another Blackburn serial, Grey face.)
Mary McGregor and Douglas Kelly played the lead roles of Elizabeth and Jeffrey Blackburn. This new casting upset some listeners who were used to hearing Peter Finch and Neva Carr Glynn in the roles.
The serial was being played again in 1954 when Afford died.

It Walks By Night, first published in 1930, is the first detective novel by John Dickson Carr. It introduced Carr's series detective Henri Bencolin. This novel is a mystery of the type known as a locked-room mystery. It has been compared to "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Edgar Allan Poe.
Synopsis
A closely guarded room in a Paris gambling house, a mangled body on the floor, a severed head staring from the centre of the carpet; someone had entered that room, killed and escaped all within ten minutes.
Ten minutes after the Duc de Saligny entered the card room, the police burst in – and found he had been murdered. Both doors to the card room had been watched yet the murderer had gone in and out without being seen by anyone.
Reception
In a 2019 review in the Times Literary Supplement, Heather O'Donoghue writes that while the setting is "unexpectedly hard-hitting", "the novel itself is not easy reading" and that character development suffers, in part due to the tradition that "the culprit should be the least likely suspect".
