Joey Costa' s methods for interrogation and retrieval are sometimes unorthodox, and border on illegal, but, they get results. He had defended mobsters for years, now he needed a semi-honest defendant.  He's sitting behind bars because of over zealous police work, a clash of personality, and a mistaken identity.Lena Haynes is a feisty, attractive homicide detective who moonlights as a motorcycle cop on the weekends. She fits the appearance stereotype of a farmer's daughter with a refreshing flippant attitude. Lt. Dorsey said she was incorrigible.William Talent is a mild mannered oceanographer who has been arrested for murder. The charge, that he had murdered his mother's caretaker.  He's highly educated with everything to lose. William's wife had divorced him. They didn't have children. He can see that Costa is compassionate and fearless. He asked, "Do you always make up stories and fabrications like a con artist?"The coroner said Talent's mother had been malnourished, dehydrated, and filthy. That he had blamed her caretaker, Mary Butts. Now, Mary had disappeared, and someone cut Harold Butt' s throat. Someone had also emptied bank accounts and maxed out credit cards. Vandals had stripped and victimized his mother's home.Lloyd Love worked vulnerable, lonely women. They believed his promises. He considered himself a lover, fighter and convict. Ricky Craven was a prison mate of Lloyd Love. He was untrustworthy, but was he a killer, or just filling an angry supporting role?We have cars, but no wild police chase, skid marks or odor of gasoline. We do have another excellent read from Henry Simpson. Kudos.
