Zeuge einer Verschwörung (1974)
Als US-Senator Carroll auf der Aussichtsplattform der Space Needle in Seattle ermordet wird, bleiben viele Fragen offen. Der Mörder, der bei der Verfolgung ums Leben kam, soll Einzeltäter gewesen sein. Jahre später kommt die Fernsehreporterin Lee Carter zu ihrem Freund, dem Zeitungs-Journalisten Joseph Frady, und berichtet ihm, dass mehrere Zeugen von damals ums Leben kamen. Erst als auch Lee bei einem Unfall stirbt, nimmt Carter ihre Darstellung ernst und macht sich auf die Suche nach dem Berater des ermordeten Senators, Austin Tucker. Nachdem auch der untergetauchte Tucker auf hoher See mit seiner Jacht in die Luft gesprengt wird, beschließt Frady, sich selbst in die Organisation einzuschleusen. Zwar kann er dadurch ein Flugzeugattentat abwenden, doch er ist schon viel tiefer in die Machenschaften der Organisation verwickelt, als ihm lieb ist.
