- Detectives Briscoe and Logan investigate the murder of a visiting Japanese businessman who was shot in his posh hotel room but managed to stagger into the lobby before dropping dead. He was a frequent visitor to New York City, recruiting attractive young women to sing in his Tokyo nightclub. They interview some of his former employees and learn that their role as entertainers involved much more than just singing. They eventually focus on Martha Bowen who had had a run in with the dead man when she was in Japan and sought help from the U.S. Consulate. Her defense at trial is that she was suffering from battered wife syndrome and was defending herself. ADA McCoy is having none of it but there are nasty overtones of racism and anti-Japanese overtones in the case.—garykmcd
