Red Herring by Michael Hollinger; Northwest Premiere

Replete with farcical spy antics and ill-fitting shoes, something smells fishy in this comedic noir fable. A pulpy delight awaits with Commie spies afoot, the H-bomb looming and McCarthy’s detective daughter is hot on the trail of a fog-filled murder case. As the knots of three convoluted relationships tie and fray, the plot-crossed lovers in this 1950s espionage bumble, subvert and strategize their way to finding each other, eventually unraveling their trysts into a riotous, inescapable tangle.
