He's no murderer...just a thief and an embezzler!

Jessica is in Las Vegas for a booksellers convention and she hates the schmoozing and parties. So, for a distraction, she investigates a murder...her favorite pastime. In this case, the really scummy boyfriend of a young lady she knows is in trouble and accused of murder. While he's a real piece of work and clearly should be in prison, he's no murderer...at least that's what he tells Jessica. But if this scumbag didn't do it...who killed the man and why?

This is a fairly good mystery and as usual it's enjoyable watching Jessica in action. Not a great nor memorable episode but a very solid one and one worth your time.
