While the City Sleeps

A serial killer is on the loose in New York City. Dubbed ''The Lipstick Killer,'' he has also strangely become the center of a power struggle between three division chiefs in a media empire. The directive from their inexperienced boss, Walter Kyne, is simple: Whoever catches the killer gets promoted to executive editor. But newspaper editor John Day Griffith has one distinct advantage in the form of crack reporter Edward Mobley .
