Plot
[edit]Kojak is on a new case, the bodies of two young boys are found in the Harlem river. Their mother (Kate Nelligan) is the main obvious suspect, particularly with her scandalous past, but Kojak believes that she is innocent. Soon afterward the boys' father (Pat Hingle) kills himself. Kojak and his new assistant (John Bedford Lloyd) have to sort things out and solve the case which isn't going to be as straightforward a task as it seems.[1]
