1Meet Rick Marshall, a former B-17 pilot now scraping a living as a private detective. Along with almost everyone else that day, he hears the massive explosion over the Golden Gate Bridge as a Lockheed Constellation disintegrates in a fireball and falls into the bay. He's hired by a local underworld boss to find out who killed his wife, a passenger on the doomed 'Connie.' This is a major break for Rick who normally handles divorce cases and debt collecting. Against his will, Rick is assigned an assistant, a six-foot-tall blonde from Iceland who likes to wear men's suits. Inga is a looker, she's very handy with her fists but maybe she's there just to make sure Rick only finds out so much. There's also the problem posed by Rick's wife. She's having an affair with her boss, and her boss is into some very shady land deals in the Napa Valley. Can Rick solve the biggest case he's ever had and save his marriage? Who can he really trust? This is The Connie - complex, compelling, and more noir than a moonless night.
