** Tenofsky left evidence as to where Parenti's body was so he could make sure Books and Biscuits would eventually be convicted.

* AmoralAttorney: Knowing that the person in the DA office claiming to be Daniel Tenofsky is really a fake, he used this fact to blackmail "Tenofsky" to destroy the case against his clients.

[=McCoy=] and Southerlyn find that the case file relating to the murder of journalist Bobby Parenti is missing numerous key documents. Parenti's ostensible killer is Franco Tortomassi, a senior member of the Masucci Crime Family. Two other Masucci associates, Freddy "Books" Libretti and Tony "Biscuits" Biscotti, supposedly testified against Tortomassi before a Grand Jury but then Tenofsky abruptly transferred divisions without bringing the case to trial.

Further investigation reveals that Parenti himself was part of the Masucci Family, and told others that Books and Biscuits wanted to kill him. With evidence that a call that lured Tenofsky to his death was made from a restaurant Biscuits' uncle owned, [=McCoy=] charges Books and Biscuits with murder. Even though Tenofsky offered them immunity from prosecution, it's not valid since there is no proof they ever testified.

A document left in the original case file suggests Parenti was buried under a bridge, which proves true. Books and Biscuits insist Tortomassi ordered them to kill both Tenofsky and Parenti. Their lawyer, William Wachtler, agrees a plea deal with [=McCoy=]; and Tortomassi is charged. But [=McCoy=] notices that Books' and Biscuits' testimonies at Tortomassi's trial do not add up. They are clearly slipping up in a cover story Wachtler gave them.

[=McCoy=] and Southerlyn discover that Wachtler met the real Daniel Tenofskie at law school, therefore he knew that "Tenofsky" (Dieter) was faking. He blackmailed Tenofsky into destroying the key documents in the case, but Tenofsky left behind evidence of where Parenti's body was so that Books and Biscuits could be brought to justice. They killed him because Parenti's body was likely to be found during an upcoming renovation of the bridge.

Tortomassi is released and Books, Biscuits, and Wachtler are all jailed. When Southerlyn asks what to do with Tenofsky's personal belongings, [=McCoy=] reflects that they'll never know who "Tenofsky" really was.
