Killer instinct
Maloney wakes up hungover under the wrong office desk. In his hands, he clutches a blood-stained knife.

The police officer, overcome with glee, has no doubt: Maloney is the murderer and arrests him.

Party night
Maloney's new case takes him to a retirement home, where he is supposed to solve a case of sabotage involving a walker.
