Such a Killing Crime

Joe Talley is the manager of the Riding Beggar, a folk-music joint in 1963 Greenwich Village. After work one night, Joe saves a friend of his, Seamus O'Hanlon, who is apparently being mugged, but as soon as he is out of the hospital, Seamus disappears. Shortly thereafter, after signing with a record company, Joe's good friend, folk-singer Dean Coffey, is murdered, his demo tapes stolen. Joe finds Dean's body and is hit on the head by the murderer, landing him in the hospital.
