Synopsis

Joseph Wambaugh's cop novel about two L.A. detectives who set out to crack the murder of a film mogul and get involved with Hollywood's seamier side -- from drug dealers and hustlers to kinking actresses and sadistic killers -- reunited amiable James Garner and his long-time TV sidekick Stuart Margolin (as the mogul's shady nephew, as well as the film's co-producer, director and music composer). Made for cable television, this gritty tale proved to be somewhat gamey for the networks, especially an extended sequence involving Margot Kidder as a bondage-craving actress.
