Laura and Steele investigate the murder of an author whose steamy novels badly mirror her own married life.

Laura has a personal stake in the investigation of the death of a movie producer who was planning on making a movie of an old TV series without the original star.

Laura's sister finds a dead body on her kitchen floor and asks for help from a reluctant Laura and Steele.

A man who framed himself so his wife could collect the reward learns he isn't terminally ill and wants Laura and Steele to clear him.
