This is a terrific show that starts with an intriguing premise: a woman (Joan Van Ark) shows up at Rockford's trailer with an usual assignment. She wants him to find someone: her.
This is one of those shows where no one ever quite seems to know what's going on. People are lying and being very mysterious about their backgrounds and motives. Finding the truth takes Rockford to Denver and gets him involved with another organized crime figure.
Good performances all around. Garner is solid as usual as Rockford (displaying a lot of toughness in this episode), Van Ark is good as the mysterious client and surprisingly, at least to me, Paul Michael Glaser (of "Starsky and Hutch") is VERY effective and believable as the villain.
