Green and Cassady investigate the death of a publishing agent who approved a book written by an ex-athlete that describes how he would have murdered his wife if he was in fact the real killer.
A maintenance man noticed a bag that prevented elevator doors from closing. Some blood stains were left on the wall with broken glasses on the ground: a woman lied on the floor after being repeatedly beaten. She was strangulated. Cassady figured out she was a publisher and recently she promoted a controversial book in which the writer described the way he would have killed his murdered wife. That's why she received several lawsuits. The writer, a former baseball player, lived like he was an inmate inside his aparment, due to paparazzi who followed him 24/7. Anyway, the victim had a dinner the night before with the baseball player, something he forgot to mention to detective; they had a sex relationship and he gave to her the book with "goodbye" signature that ended in the hand of another unsuccessful writer: to reduce his sentence, the guy (a ghostwriter) stated to know something about jurors' bribery in the wife murder.....
A very twisted episode, McCoy was sure to convict the right killer, but he made a mistake; anyway it's very hard to prove what he thought. He had to do his best with several tricks at trial, but defense attorney (Mario Van Peebles) is a tough guy.
