When a wealthy entrepreneur is accused of murdering his wife, Elvis is hired to prove that a rumored dirty cop fooled around with the evidence. Reissue. Prominent restaurateur Teddy Martin is facing charges in his wife s brutal murder. But he s not going down without spending a bundle of cash on his defense. So his hotshot attorney hires P.I. Elvis Cole to find proof that Detective Angela Rossi tampered with the evidence. Rossi needs a way back to the fast track after falling hard during an internal investigation five years ago. But Cole needs to know if she s desperate enough to falsify the case against Martin in order to secure her own position.
