Jessica's teen writing class has two promising students, Alida and Chris. But when Chris' loan-shark stepfather turns up dead after pursuing Alida and fleeing a hit-and-run, Chris is the prime suspect.
Jessica witnesses businessman Frank Garcia's sports car running over his stepson Chris's high school teacher Barbara Fisher, but his foreman ad his wife provide false alibis. By the time Jessica got the passenger and another corroborating witness, a graffiti 'artist', to come forward, Frank, a ruthless loan shark, is fatally shot on the roof where he houses his racing pigeons.—KGF Vissers
Frank Garcia is a loan shark charging people in desperate need of funds usurious rates of interest. Garcia's stepson Chris has just joined Jessica Fletcher's creative writing class but is not happy. He doesn't get along well with his stepfather and unknown to anyone, is the neighborhood graffiti artist the police are keen to stop. Frank's passion is racing pigeons and he has a hefty bet with club owner Mario Fernandez over an upcoming race. When Frank is found dead on the roof of his building, there is no shortage of suspects, particularly in light of his chosen profession.—garykmcd
