The Rockford Files - 04x02 Trouble in Chapter 17

Summary: Ann Clement has made herself wealthy writing books that purport to teach women how to make their marriages work. But in the age of feminism, there are those who don't want to hear what she has to say, and some of them might be violent enough to kill her. She asks Rockford to investigate several attempts on her life. Is the perpetrator some angry feminist? Or the husband who is tired of being the subject of her books, and who just might want her millions free and clear? Or is she, as the police believe, running an elaborate publicity stunt? Jim finds himself forced into the case when Dennis won't touch it, even after someone shoots at Ann Clement. Now all he has to do is figure out what's really going on, with only scant leads to point the way.
