i just recently discover this fantastic series and i just can not seem to get enough of garner lay back pi . the show continually display excellent level of writing and suspenseful episode . this episode and sleight of hand and be a little different . forsake humor in favor of a more serious turn for rockford a he search for his miss girlfriend . the mystery be great and it unravel be convince enough . it base on a book ( can not remember the name ) and it could easily have be stretch to a feature length episode . garner excels here a rockford get tough and really mean business . this have a noir feel to it all the way and the dark lighting and overall mood echo the great dark thriller of the 40 and 50 . really good episode in a class a series . easily deserve a 10 .
