Broadway's My Beat, from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway's My Beat, with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover. Broadway, it's a mob and a big voice that darts from doorways and screams in your face, then scurls off into the quiet streets.

Synopsis

In The Lt Jimmy Hunt Murder Case, Detective Danny Clover is summoned to St. Anthony's Hospital early one January morning to investigate the death of Jimmy Hunt. Initially, it appears that Jimmy has committed suicide, having used a steak knife from his food tray. However, Clover quickly senses that something is amiss when Sister Angela reveals that Jimmy was not in a state of despair but rather struggling with the haunting memories of his time as a soldier. The priest, Father Flaherty, reluctantly agrees that the circumstances warrant police involvement, hinting at a more sinister possibility.
