RECIPE FOR MURDER

He’s got his fingers on the pulse of the city, a talent for unraveling its mysteries, and a gut instinct for crime. For Murray Maguire, it’s a job, and this time he’s taking it personally. Clue by clue.

Murray Maguire (Gary Basaraba, NYPD Blue, Law and Order) is Chief Medical Examiner for the city of New York. Affable, brilliant, and unfailingly honest, Maguire’s all-too familiar with cases closed as unsolved riddles, and “perfect” murders that slip through the cracks of the NYPD. But Murray’s work takes a personal turn when his goddaughter Leona (Anne Openshaw) is killed in a mysterious car crash. When the details of the crash don’t add up, Murray refuses to cross it off as an accident and takes it upon himself to investigate. But that means investigating Leona’s surprising and provocative past…

Assisting his detective work is his smart, witty, and down-to-earth girlfriend, Corrine (Larissa Laskin, Degree of Guilt). What they’ve discovered about Leona is the stuff of tabloid headlines. Could her confidential relationships with a host of famous actors have contributed to her death? Or was it her secret love affairs with the city’s most influential entrepreneurs? To find the answer Murray and Corrine delve into the shadows of New York’s most high-profile—and highly dangerous—elite.
