Gus Marchand, a hard-working, god-fearing man, has been found dead on his kitchen floor. Without any real evidence, the locals cast their suspicions toward Alex Feldman, Marchand’s hideously deformed neighbor. At the request of a fellow attorney, Barbara agrees to defend him. But another suspect is the high-school principal, Hilde Franz, who’d had a contretemps with Gus earlier that week. He had threatened to have her investigated and Hilde was seen near Marchand’s property around the time of his death, giving police both a motive and an opportunity for murder. Hilde also happens to be an old friend of Barbara’s father, Frank, so naturally he’s going to defend her. Will Barbara have to square off against the man who taught her all she knows?
