Chief Inspector Allen Banks is called in to handle the murder of a 16 year-old school girl who is strangled in the church cemetery. The suspects range from a school teacher, Owen Pierce, who is slowly recovering from a failed 5 year affair with one of his former students; a young hoodlum, John Spinks; a Croatian immigrant drunk who has accused the local Pastor of sexual advances; and the local Pastor.
The circumstantial evidence against Owen is very strong and when he is charged, tried and acquitted of the murder, many of the locals are very upset.
Banks returns to the case and when another murder similar to the first is committed, Owen is yet again the chief suspect and once more the evidence against him is very strong. When it is discovered that Owen has a perfect alibi and was the victim of a frame, other suspects come into view.
Only clever work by Banks will reveal the identity of the real murderer and the secrets buried deep within the community.
Mystery fans will welcome another Banks addition to their shelves.
