Description

Architect Ken "Cannoli" Knoll's world is turned upside down when the sign on his new project, the Neumann Auditorium, plunges from the building, killing Jerome Neumann, the businessman who donated $3 million to the project. Cannoli's boss dispatches him to prove that the firm's design was not at fault. Cannoli is appalled to find his old college classmate turned investigative reporter, Shirley Hansen, poking around. She is there at every step of the investigation, a thorn in Cannoli's side, looking for the dirt and the killer as he seeks to solve the murder. Neumann's wife insists the sign's falling was not an accident and begs Cannoli to prove that her husband was, in fact, killed by his mistress when he broke off their affair. Cannoli wonders if perhaps it was the wife who murdered him when he decided on the mistress.Meanwhile, Cannoli is delighted when a Hollywood actress appears at the site of the sign plunge, intrigued by the death. Ken begins seeing her romantically, despite his intern Edison's warnings about his sudden good fortune. There are plenty of suspects, as Cannoli discovers Neumann's former business partner held a grudge against him for a deal that went bad and ruined his life. He wonders about Michigan poet Molly Gross, who, despite her position on the city's planning board, was an outspoken critic of the project. And there's the activist group who had protested, sometimes violently, the destruction of the library's old Fitzgerald Reading Room to build the auditorium. As Cannoli digs deeper, his prime suspect is murdered and suddenly he finds his own life in danger.
