À cause d'un assassinat (1974)
Le sénateur Carroll, candidat démocrate aux élections présidentielles américaines, a été assassiné en 1971, lors d'une conférence de presse-buffet, par l'un des serveurs. Une commission d'enquête ne retient pas l'hypothèse d'une quelconque conspiration et conclut qu'il s'agit d'un acte isolé commis par un déséquilibré. Au cours des trois années qui suivent, la plupart des personnes qui ont assisté à cet événement meurent les unes après les autres à la suite de divers accidents. La journaliste Lee Carter, elle aussi témoin du meurtre de 1971, pense que ces « accidents » sont en réalité des assassinats déguisés : elle fait part de ses craintes à son collègue et ami Joe Frady, mais ne réussit pas vraiment à le convaincre. Cependant, quand Lee est victime à son tour d'un « accident » fatal, Joe Frady, persuadé désormais que la jeune femme ne se trompait pas, décide, sans l'accord de son rédacteur en chef, de mener une enquête approfondie...
