Reviews
The
hanging (off her own Watergate balcony) of fearsome Washington Post gossip
columnist Polly Dearborn proves a minefield for socialite/homicide Sgt. Fiona
FitzGerald (Senator Love, etc.) and her
unlikable new partner, Charleen Evans. The trouble begins when Charleen
insists on tapping into Polly's computer files, taking the hard disk home with
her and printing out the results - reams of dirt on everybody from the D.C.
mayor to Secretary of Defense Chester Downey, already a suicide after the
second of three projected articles on him ran the morning of Polly's death.
Polly's damaging revelations about Downey and his son promptly gets shoved
aside by a legal battle over the disposition of Polly's computer drives - and
the information Fiona and Charleen find themselves unwillingly concealing amid
rickety, opportunistic alliances among their publicity-and-promotion-minded
boss, editor Harry Barker at the Post, and the Mayor's office.
Not much
mystery here, but the barely legal wheeling and dealing works up some
suspense. Average for this uneven series.
