Storyline

When his wife is killed in a restaurant shoot-out, intelligence man Harry Hannan has a breakdown and finds that his department don't want him back. Someone's trying to kill him and it could be them, though a cryptic Jewish death-threat suggests there's something else going on. His only ally seems to be mousy Ellie Fabian who has managed to move into his New York apartment. Written by Jeremy Perkins <jwp@aber.ac.uk>

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: In the scene in the synagogue, Harry appears to be going through a register book when he finds his grandfather's name. Actually, he's reading a tractate of the Talmud, which is entirely in Aramaica and Hebrew - and he's holding it upside down. See more »

Quotes

Sam Urdell: This was the prime whorehouse of the East Side. A moment of reverence, please: fifty years ago, this was the very place I lost my cherry.
