Synopsis
For more than twenty-five years, Columbo has been the most popular, and persistent, detective on television. Columbo TV movies are as popular as ever, while the TV show is syndicated and continues to appear on cable. Now the lovable LAPD lieutenant is back at work in the land of the powerful and glitzy, armed with his keen wit, rumpled raincoat, and unlit cigar. Betsy Clendenin is a tell-all biographer to whom nothing is sacred. Her latest project threatens to expose scathing secrets buried in the notorious Hoover files. Frederick Kloss is a wealthy, retired FBI agent. To him, J. Edgar Hoover is nothing short of a god, and he never refers to Hoover except as “The Director.” Kloss will stop at nothing to protect Hoover’s memory--including murder. Kloss has even more to lose than he realizes. Clendenin might uncover the fact that he personally helped Hoover assemble the files holding the key to America’s biggest scandals and secrets. When Betsy Clendenin is killed by a mail bomb that blasts her house--and her damaging research--into oblivion, the LAPD turns to its most notable detective, Lieutenant Columbo. Retired crime expert Kloss may be the perfect criminal, but if there’s the tiniest clue, the famous Lieutenant Columbo will find it. Nothing gets past this rumpled, distracted detective, who always innocently asks “just one more little question.” Look for the Columbo series in the Bookshare collection including #1 Columbo: The Grassy Knoll, #2 Columbo: The Helter Skelter Murders, #3 Columbo: The Hoffa Connection, #4Columbo: The Game Show Killer #5 Columbo: The Glitter Murder and #6 Columbo: The Hoover Files.
