Wayne Rogers made his final appearance in a Murder She Wrote episode as Jessica Fletcher pulls sleazy private eye Charlie Garrett out of a real bad jackpot. She also uncovers a painting and solves a murder all at the same time.
Garrett is hired to bid at an art auction so as to smoke out people interested in a particular painting up for bid. He's a decoy and knows nothing, but the item up for bid is a painting that is over a stolen Degas. The guy who painted over it is struggling artist Doug Hutchison and he's the one who winds up dead.
Just locate those who knew the story of the painted over Degas and you've got a nice suspect list. Of course investigating detective Tryrees Allen would just as soon pin it on Rogers whom he doesn't like in any event.
You have to like the way Angela Lansbury and Wayne Rogers do trap the murderer, a lovely con job if ever I saw one.
From a sleazy private eye of course.
