520 _aThe detective hears complaints about Ganz and producer Leo Rhodes who are accused of being unfair to the actors but mostly to the team of writers: Karen Baldwin, Curt Geller, Dickie Nacke and weird Barry Sondell, among others. When somebody throws Ganz out of the high window in his office, a network vice-president assigns Blissberg to investigate. It is a wearying, disillusioning job that entails delving into Ganz's past and that of everyone who doesn't have an alibi. Fortunately, Mickey Slavin comes from Boston to keep her lover company and to help him discover who killed Ganz, and why. The story's skillful contrasts of edged satire and pathos make it irresistible, the third triumph for Blissberg and his creator.
