The killer is eventually arrested, but not before numerous extra-marital affairs come to show more light and a bullion van is attacked... show less

It all started with a new part-time drummer with a local band getting shot by a masked man in the middle of a set in a crowded upscale venue. Then it turned into an old case with a stoolie who turned in evidence against his cronies. AND THEN there's the attempted heist of bullion from a bank, and more.
Very enjoyable.
Narration by Damian Lynch was very Jack Webb/Joe Friday, and that's a good thing!
