Margo Bently is writing her first book, the contents of which could prove very damaging to a certain group of people. She is murdered and brought into the lab as a suspected alcoholic prostitute with cirrhosis but Quincy thinks the body is telling him something different about her social standing.''Quincy is asked to present a seminar in Buffalo, NY by Asten, so while he's preparing his notes Asten takes over in the lab. In Quincy's absence, Asten signs the body out to a phoney coroner and Quincy begins tracking her down. This leads him to a murdered literary agent in New York and a race to autopsy him before he's cremated so he can prove a link.moreless

Edit
Asten: Dr. Quincy, when I buzz an extention, I expect an answer. When I leave a message, I expect a response. Does that sound unreasonable?
Quincy: Not at all, sir. But if you say it's unreasonable I'll back you 100%
Edit
Sam: Well, a $100 prostitute is still a prostitute.
Quincy: Sam, old age has made you mean. What's gonna happen when you hit 28?
Sam: I'm shooting for debonair, just like my honorable mentor.
Edit
Kendal: This is murder we're talking about. It isn't a game of backgammon down in Puerto Vallarta.
