Law & Order S6 E15 “Encore”
“Why do all my wives keep getting killed by hitmen? Because a defense attorney is cheaper than a divorce attorney.”
Briscoe and Curtis investigate the killing of a Central Park jogger. Her husband is the sleazy Michael Dobson (played with relish by Larry Miller), a club owner who tricked McCoy into dropping charges of murdering his first wife in an earlier episode. The hit man has connections to Dobson...but also to the mobster who Dobson owes money to. Is he guilty or not? McCoy and Kincaid fear he'll skate again for killing wife number two...until they unravel the mystery with the woman in line to be wife number three.
We're talking about Law & Order season 6 episode 15 "Encore." Our guest is author and Emmy winner Edward Zuckerman, who also wrote this classic mothership episode.
Plot points for this episode come from the murder of Maria Isabel Monteiro Alves.
Check out Edward's new book, Wealth Management, a novel.
