Good story, but I wouldn't feel comfortable married to the detective's wife if she lets an ex-con convince her that she can't trust her straight-laced husband.

A city cop has committed the better part of his career trying to find the evidence needed to convict him of a murder committed 20 years ago. He believes sometimes that he is the only devoted and hardest working cop around and becase he didn’t play the political game, he was passed over for promotion. The suspect was a childhood friend who is known today for being a racketeer. The cop’s wife was a childhood friend of her husband and grew up in the same neighbourhood. This crime mystery had some potential but rather than twist and complicate things at the end, the story unfolds in a predictable, conventional, unimaginative manner. A disappointing episode.
