Shortly before she was killed, she had been at a record company party hosted by Hugh Hefner (guest starring as himself) at the Playboy Mansion.

Stark and his team are called to the scene of a traffic accident in which a man lost control of his car after being shot at. The weapon used was a highcalibre rifle, but Stark is keen to keep any talk of a sniper away from the press. “Nothing screws up traffic like a freeway shooter,” he says.

Abbot has been shot in the head and lies slumped over the breakfast bar. There are no signs of forced entry, nothing is missing from the house and there are no solid suspects. After initially pretending that Abbott was murdered, his wife, Kelly, eventually admits that she tampered with the scene to cover up her husband’s suicide. “Steve was a hero to a lot of people and I couldn’t let our son know how he really died,” she says.

It is not long before a suspect emerges – a troubled chemical engineering scholarship student called Michael Hackford who seems to fit the profile of a killer. A threatening letter in Hackford’s handwriting, found at the scene, shows that he had the desire to hurt the other students, while files on his home computer reveal that he knew how to make bombs.
