Tagebuch für einen Mörder (1988)
Only a short time left until Max Telligan's diary is finished. Hollywood is already interested in the book's film rights. US producer Terry Wilde makes the successful British author a lucrative offer. But shortly after the negotiations, the American is found dead at the airport and a fierce battle for the diary begins. Telligan's wife Harriet and daughter Marsha also feel the effects. Terrorists, the CIA and Scotland Yard suddenly take an interest in the book. But Telligan's beautiful secretary Liz Ferber defies all threats and saves the manuscript from shady characters and brutal intruders. Will she uncover the secret of the book?
