Kind of like an old Colombo murder mystery.

Warning: Spoilers
Kind of like an old Colombo murder mystery. Deadline has an accidental death, and affair all rolled into one. The murder get himself into a pickle and devices a plan. There is a hidden love affair. A secret romance. A reporter competing with Keller and Stone to solve the case. Many plot twists, and sub plots. In Colombo fashion there is a climax. Not bad, but not good either. 5 stars.
