Richard Diamond 50-08-02 (058) The Fixed Fight Case
Summary
Richard Diamond investigates the apparent suicide of boxing manager Frank Bowers, who was hired to uncover a fixed fight. Diamond suspects foul play after Frank’s fighter, Max Farmer, loses suspiciously and claims to have competed in the Olympics. By cross-referencing Max’s claim about a high-diving rival with witness accounts, Diamond deduces that Max pushed Frank off the Brooklyn Bridge and then dove in himself to stage the suicide. The detective confronts Max in the gym, revealing that his girlfriend Lorna Thorne, motivated by a desire for an expensive mink coat, orchestrated the scheme.
