Plot Summary:While highly respected P.I. Archie Miles, who taught at the police academy, is working on the old Danbury scalpel murder case for Jessica's research, he is shot in his office. His rather shady, clumsier partner, Harry McGraw, contacts Jessica as Archie was working on only two other cases, about allegedly adulterous contractor Ernie Santini and editor Priscilla Daniels of Femininity Magazine. Detective Lieutenant Starkey confides to Jessica the police wouldn't object to Harry getting rid of Archie's killer. She snoops herself, then teams up with Harry.
