Jack Cassidy shines in this classic episode.

Cut throat publisher Riley Greenleaf highest bomb expert Eddie Kane to kill a writer who's determined to jump ship, and move to another Publisher, when the mission is completed, Riley turns his attentions to Kane.

It's a classic episode, it has a wonderful opening sequence, a good story, and a terrific performance from Jack Cassidy.

This is a fairly gritty episode, and despite a couple of humorous moments, this one doesn't have too many of the lighter moments, pretty serious, very, very good.

Greenleaf is a tough nut to crack, it takes the great Detective a bit of effort to work this one out.

Jack Cassidy is excellent as Greenleaf, it's a compelling performance, one of the more memorable ones I've seen, he's a very smart guy too, he has real presence.

8/10.
