12. Ghost Writer

Magnum is hired by Virginia Fowler (Patch Mackenzie), an attractive "ghost writer" who is writing a biography of eccentric millionaire Harold Farber ( Elisha Cook )—whom she has never met in person, communicating only via phone—when all her notes on Farber are stolen, in an attempt to stop the book ever being written. Meanwhile, T.C. has landed himself a highly lucrative, but shady, piloting job delivering chemicals to a high-rise, but the building he is making the deliveries to turns out to be at the center of the mystery. Notes: Hollywood veteran Elisha Cook went on to play Rick’s underworld associate Ice Pick, in several later episodes.
