A brutal serial killer is targeting prostitutes who have children. When he contacts police lieutenant Kojak to taunt him, the case becomes personal for him.
Lt. Kojak is taken hostage during a jewelry store robbery gone wrong. A mind game begins between him and the robber, but Kojak quickly realizes that someone else is calling the shots for both of them.
An elderly crook may be the killer of Kojak's father. Amateurs with military grade weapons including a mini-gun rob a place and kill a young father. A criminal threatens one of Kojak's female officers, so they set up a sting at his club.
Kojak takes on a dangerous pro bono hitman who kills his targets with a sniper rifle simply for the fun of it. The only clue they have is an e-mail that the hitman uses to receive jobs.
A popular nightclub singer is stalked by a mad bomber who targets those she used to work with and sends her VHS tapes of his crimes. Kojak suspects that the stalker is not simply a crazed fan but someone she personally knows.
The murder of a real estate developer leads Kojak to the man's lover and Kojak's personal friend, Kate McNeil, which unfortunately makes her jealous husband and Kojak's boss, Captain Frank McNeil, the prime suspect.
