Richard Diamond 50-08-02 (058) The Fixed Fight Case
Summary
Richard Diamond investigates the suspicious suicide of boxing promoter Frank Bowers, who was seen jumping from the Brooklyn Bridge. Diamond suspects foul play after Frank’s fighter, Max Farmer, throws a match, and discovers that Farmer is a former Olympic high diver. By realizing that witnesses saw a dive rather than a jump, Diamond deduces that Farmer pushed Frank into the river and then dove in himself to fake a suicide. The detective confronts Farmer in the gym, revealing that Lorna Thorne, Frank’s girlfriend, orchestrated the murder for a mink coat.
