A lawyer who was working undercover as an informant is silenced and his death made to look like an automobile accident. That fools no one, not the medical examiner and definitely not Theo Kojak.
Not even Captain McNeill knows that Telly Savalas has an interesting other informant on a case involving a big construction project where the mob as represented by Nicholas Colasanto has got their hooks in. Imagine a project like Co-op City in the Bronx where we're talking billions, who's going to miss a few million that gets skimmed.
The builder, the face of the project is Michael McGuire who's got a Sammy Glick like drive for success. He may love Gretchen Corbett who is secretary to the Zoning Commission, but he values her insider information a whole lot more.
Back in the 70s it was unwritten and unspoken truism that organized crime always raked off any construction project of some consequence in New York City. I wish there had been a Theo Kojak in real life dealing with it.
