Abstract:

Columbo goes to the guillotine: "There's much more than meets the eye when Columbo investigates the death of a magician who supposedly was killed by one of his own clever magic tricks"--Container.

Murder, smoke and shadows: "Columbo searches for clues on the cutting-room floor when he suspects a high-powered film director of hiding evidence of murder"--Container.

Sex and the married detective: "Does the heart rule the head, or vice versa? Columbo ponders the answer to this timeless question and others when he must outwit a sex therapist involved in a crime of passion"--Container.

Grand deceptions: "Rank and reputation prove to be particularly difficult obstacles when Columbo looks into the murder of a respected military general by one of his overly ambitious colonels"--Container.

Murder, a self portrait: "It's no murder-by-numbers when Columbo investigates the deadly relationship between a savvy artist, his troubled ex-wife, his attention-starved current wife, and his live-in model"--Container.
