I Only Have Lies for You

Randisi really phoned this one in, and no one bothered to proofread it at all, which, if this really is the last one like he hints, is a sad ending to a great series.
Frank and Eddie G. go to Florida so Frank can introduce Eddie to his pal, Jackie Gleason. Jackie's girlfriend, Marilyn, is being followed but before Jackie can ask Eddie for his help, her sister June does. Eddie agrees, and spots Marilyn's tail. The guy later turns up knifed, and so does the driver who was with Eddie when he found the body. Eddie brings Jerry in from Brooklyn, and the two of them end up on a wild goose chase between Vegas and Florida because Jackie and Frank are both keeping important information from him. Eddie is frankly getting sick of being used by the Rat Pack and their friends (I seriously don't blame him--he's almost been killed a dozen times because of them at this point, plus he never gets to spend any time doing his actual job). The whole story was pretty ridiculous and nonsensical, and the numerous mistakes definitely didn't help me suspend my disbelief. Very disappointing.
