Sinopsis

M. Anthony Phillips presents the debut of his hot new Private Detective series. Vietnam veteran Sam Phillips follows in the footsteps of his father into the world of private investigations. It’s the end of the Vietnam War in 1976 during the Fall of Siagon and a battle-worn Sam has just taken over his father’s company after his death. 
 
With his office above a seedy bar off Hollywood and Vine, Sam and his new assistant Constance Turner go weeks before they land their first case. With the help of his troubled friend Armstrong Jones—fresh out of prison for nearly killing two men, they are paid by an old friend Michelle Yamada of protecting her little brother Ken, a Yakuza gang member being hunted by a rival gang, the Yokohama Black Rebels who killed their father—a crime boss. Chasing Ken is the notorious boss Hiroshi Ito, a sadistic killer like no other who has killed nearly all the Yakuza bosses in Little Tokyo. 
 
 In the meantime Sam finds out he’s the father of a five-year-old Amerasian kid from Vietnam—dropped off at his doorstep in the middle of the afternoon. In protecting Ken, people close to Sam are getting killed off, including detective friends who are trying to capture Hiroshi for murder. When things start to not add up about Ken, Sam and Armstrong begin to wonder if they’re being played the fool. With the body count adding up and Hiroshi getting closer to his target, Sam and Armstrong must go on the offensive before it’s too late.

A Jury of Her Peers - or "Trifles"

Adapted from her one act play, "Trifles" (1916), A Jury of Her Peers is based on a murder case Glaspell covered as a reporter for the Des Moines Daily News. Largely ignored upon its initial publication, it was revived by feminists in the 1970s. A Jury of Her Peers is an innovative exploration of the inequalities of women’s lives in the public and private spheres. 
 
Dealing with themes of the male subjugation of women, sexism at home and the workplace, and the ways the law fails to protect women from violence, Glaspell’s tale remains hauntingly relevant after 100 years.

American expat Tabitha Knight has found a new life in postwar Paris, along with a delightful friend in aspiring 
chef Julia Child. Yet there are perils in peacetime too, as a killer infiltrates one of the city’s most famous fashion 
houses. 
If there’s one art the French have mastered as well as fine cuisine, it’s haute couture. Tabitha and Julia are 
already accustomed to sampling the delights of the former. Now fashion is returning to the forefront in Paris, 
as the somber hues of wartime are replaced by vibrant colors and ultra-feminine silhouettes, influenced by 
Christian Dior’s “New Look.” 
Tabitha and Julia join a friend for a private showing at an exclusive fashion atelier, Maison Lannet. The event 
goes well, but when Tabitha returns later that evening to search for a lost glove, she finds the lights still on—and 
the couturier dead, strangled by a length of lace. The shop manager suspects that a jealous rival—perhaps 
Dior himself—committed the crime. Tabitha dismisses that idea, but when another body is found, it’s apparent 
that someone is targeting employees of Maison Lannet. 
Meanwhile, Tabitha’s Grand-père and Oncle Rafe are in the midst of their own design-related fracas, as 
they squabble over how to decorate their new restaurant. And there are strange break-ins at a nearby shoe 
store—but are the crimes related? It’s up to Tabitha to don her investigative hat and find answers before 
someone commits another fatal fashion faux pas.
