An LA magazine's lawyer is our hero/detective, first investigating when one of the magazine's writers is hit with a libel suit, then getting deeper into the plots around him, when the man doing the suing plunges 19 stories to his death. Convolutions and surprises, plus good writing, make for a reprise of the old-time hard-boiled mystery.
