Stephen J. Cannell’s newest title is “Vigilante”. Lita Mendez was a thorn in the LAPD’s side so when she was found dead in her home, detectives Shane and Hitch feared the worst – that there’s a killer in their ranks. Outside the crime scene, Nixon Nash, the host of the hit reality show “Vigilante TV,” is dedicated to solving murders before the police can… but just how far would he go in the name of self-promotion?
