There's more than just paint on the walls when Mike tries to help Velda after her boyfriend, an artist, is murdered in his studio before an exhibition. But Hammer struggles to connect the dots in this mysterious case, and a long list of suspects emerges when he discovers that the artist often made others see red. Could it be the artist's jealous ex, the wealthy art collector, the corrupted art critic, the gallery owner, or even Velda herself?
