Ed McBain's: Three Blind Mice

This made-for-television film stars Brian Dennehy as lawyer and shellshocked Vietnam veteran Matthew Hope. When three Vietnamese immigrants are found brutally murdered in south Florida, blame falls on Hope's old war buddy Stephen Leeds (John Doman). Leeds had once saved Hope's life in Vietnam, and now the lawyer repays the favor by coming to his friend's defense. But as Hope battles a tough prosecuting attorney (Mary Stuart Masterson) and Leeds' suspiciously motivated wife (Debrah Farentino), he makes a startling discovery about Leed's wartime experiences that shakes his belief in his friend's innocence.
