Description
The story of a womans obsession with moneypowerprestige; married to a man with a shocking, secret past. Well-known, wealthy novelist, Paul Laszlo is found dead in his luxurious Hollywood Hills mansion, apparently the victim of a suicide. Upon further investigation by LAPD detectives, Joe Mallory and Derek Brooks, the suicide theory is ruled out. A ballistics report indicates Laszlo was murdered; a single gunshot wound to the head. An intense investigation follows, with Diane Laszlo, the victims wife, as the prime suspect. The detectives zero-in on Mrs. Laszlo primarily because her first husband died in a mysterious boating accident, leaving her with an insurance settlement of $500,000. In a divorce settlement with her second husband, Diane gained custody of their teen-aged son and a lump sum of $200,000. Further probing into her background, reveals that Mrs. Laszlo was manipulative, a gross opportunist, a woman who would stop at nothing to get what she wants. With greed as her motive, Mallory suspects Diane may have been involved in Laszlos death, but the detectives dont have a shred of evidence to arrest her.
The storys subplot involves the murder of a black prostitute at a Sunset Boulevard motel. This is followed by a raid on an East L.A. apartment where the suspect, Juan Comacho manages to elude the police. Later, Comacho is arrested in a Spanish Harlem bar and extradited back to California by NYPD Det. Brad Shaner. It is here that the two plots intersect. Offering a fresh look, a new perspective on the Laszlo murder, Shaner joins Mallory in reviewing the case file. Viewing autopsy photos, Shaner recognizes Laszlo from a sexual assault arrest made in New York, almost twenty-eight years before. At that time he was known as Paul Barac. As the climax approaches, Mark, Laszlos stepson is interrogated. In a tearful confession (told in flashback) the sixteen-year-old boy relates a year of sexual molestation by Laszlo, ending in Marks desperate attempt to end it allby killing his stepfather.
