Mannix: Voice in the Dark (1971)
Season 4, Episode 21
8/10
A whole lot of improbables strung together in a believable manner.

I liked this episode of "Mannix" because although the crime seemed very improbable, the story was woven in such a way that it actually seemed kind of believable. The show begins with Joe about to have a hot night at his apartment with a lady. But, duty interrupts and he is called to the apartment of Ms. Kinman (Carol Lynley). It seems that since this once Olympic hopeful was seriously injured in a crash, she's been receiving death threats. However, with her psychiatric admission following the accident, the police don't seem all that convinced anyone is really calling her--especially since the guy never stays on the line for more than a few seconds. But Joe is convinced and takes the case. But who would do this and why?

The who wasn't all that hard to guess, but the why came as a bit of a surprise. Well constructed and interesting.
