Who killed Jack Nathanson, the Academy Award-winning director? Plenty of people had motives, including his old Chicago friend whom Jack screwed out of a production deal, and Meg Davis, a seriously disturbed former child star, who may have been sexually abused by Jack during filmings. Not to mention every one of his four ex-wives. But when Maxi Poole, Jack's third wife and Hollywood reporter of Channel 6 News, joins up with the police, they soon realize the murder is not a crime of passion. Now, with Maxi herself a moving target, Jack's housekeeper and latest wife soon become victims of a very angry person. And Jack's secret mistress, who had a longer shelf life than any of his wives, but less to show for the trouble, is about to take the spotlight.
