Murder Is a Novel Idea

I thought Norman Tuttle found love in the previous episode when he met an old flame working for a dicey company.

Now Norman wants to hook up with an author friend of Jesse.

Stefanie Craig is a true life crime author who tells in a televison interview that she knows the killer of an unsolved murder from 20 years previously. A crime that took place in a college campus.

The real culprits now respectable businessmen try to shut Stefanie up as Street Hawk goes to the rescue.

It is another flat episode, some of the acting was rather bland and bad and the villains were boring.
