About the event
Set in the late 1940’s, this original murder mystery comedy,written by Connie Newhook, takes place at the U.S. Naval Facility in Argentia. The Base Commander is being awarded a prestigious medal and his wealthy twin brother along with his entourage have arrived in Argentia for the event. The famous USO show is the backdrop for a murder that yields plenty of suspects and with the help of a hard-boiled detective who has been flown in, the plan is to solve the case in quick fashion. Scorned lovers, gambling debts, and some good old-fashioned blackmail presents a goodly amount of motives for Jake Hanlon, P.I.
