| Plot Summary of Reckless Homicide |
|---|
"The hero is the legal advisor to an airline company where his brother Charlie works as a pilot. Our hero convinces the airline to rehire his brother after a drug-related suspension. They do and a plane piloted by Charlie crushes and his body is found filled with barbiturates. Our hero is then accused of reckless homicide of all the people on board due to his part in rehiring his brother. He and his lawyer lover put on a great defence, that seems both legally and factually hopeless. Clues slowly emerge that this is a bigger conspiracy than seems at first ..."
