One Point Eight Million Reasons to Change Your Name : Part 1, Graeme Koetsveld , single work film/TV crime

'Elvis Maginnis is in trouble and it's his family (as usual) who have put him in it. This time, he's suspected of master-minding an armoured van robbery that netted 1.8 million dollars. Why? Because the overalls the bandits wore came from his drycleaning business and because the MO is identical to a previous robbery--one that the police suspect his cousin Declan of committing. That was also a case that Elvis had investigated while a member of the Armed Robbery Squad. Coincidence, or is Elvis just plain unlucky?'
