RX for Murder

Patients at a medical clinic are preyed upon by a blackmailing clinical psychologist who is murdered: a fate he should have expected.Dr. Kurt Mason thinks a clinic run by Dr. James Howard is just a scam, and persuades his wealthy friend, Birney Britt, former investigative reporter, to check into the clinic to find out what is taking place there. Dr. Howard is murdered, and Birney learns that James Howard was a blackmailer and had hidden tapes containing the information he used in his extortion schemes. Police Lieutenant Randall O'Halloran makes life miserable for Birney as she tries to complete her investigation, even threatening prosecution if Birney continues. Birney accidentally finds Dr. Howard's tapes, but she keeps their contents to herself, wanting to learn what is on them before turning them over to the police. The information on the tapes puts Birney's life in danger as she moves through the maze created by the killer.
