Detective Sergeant Barney O'Toole investigates the murder of Dude Masterson, a man with no shortage of enemies—including the brutal gangster Hogan, cab driver Russell Thayer, and nightclub singer Dorabelle Lee. When a smashed wristwatch points to 1:30 a.m. as the time of death, each suspect produces an alibi, but O'Toole spots a detail others missed: the radio frozen on station WLAX, which went off the air hours before. What looked like an airtight case begins to unravel when the detective realizes the murder weapon wasn't time—it was misdirection.
