studio is a front for drugs and prostitution. Kate Blair was
a drug addict and a high priced prostitute; Herb Rowland,
is an ex-con with the murder weapon in his apartment and no

abusive to her and did do drugs with her, but he didn't kill
her; Margo Blair, Kate's sister and Manny's client, loved
her sister, but is strongly motivated by jealousy and greed.
Margo has no alibi. She is Nick's number one suspect. Missing
links and deceptive clues turn the case in the wrong direction..
Then a newly dug grave containing thr body of Kate Blair,
an unusual photograph, a foot print, and a set of mysterious
tire tracks combine to put everything back on track.
