Detective Extralarge

S01E02: Cannonball

Famous football player Long John is killed and the police believe that John was a heroin addict and that his murder is a punishment for something he did. His mother nevertheless swears that his son hated all kinds of dope and asks Costello to find out the truth whatever the result may be. Costello accepts the appointment and during his investigations notes that Cannon Ball, the best friend of long John, is scared. Also Gonzales and doctor Shuby seem to be involved. When his car blows up Costello gets angry.

Overview

Jack Costello is a retired cop and now private detective who lives in Miami, who handles a myriad of cases for unusual clients. At his side are old police buddy Sam Bosley and cartoonist-turned-amateur sleuth Jean Philippe Dumas, who is using Costello as an influence and has nicknamed the burly detective "Extralarge." In the second series, Costello faces other dangerous cases, again with Bosley and Archibald, the son of an old friend, who Costello amusingly nicknames "Dumas."
