A courtroom crime drama on a par with Robert Traver's Anatomy of a
Murder. A young, highly acclaimed film actress is on trial for
allegedly murdering Marc Sterne, the son of a Hollywood studio
mogul, Julio Sterne. The evidence against her is mainly
circumstantial, yet it's up to the jury to decide if she'll walk
the hard walk or not...figuring into the story is the presiding
judge, Cliff Rhodes, who has a lot more at stake in the outcome
than he ever imagined...then there's Audrey Sterne, the victim's
step-mother, and Rhodes's paramour of an earlier time. She is drawn
into the fray in ways that threaten her entire way of life, not
least of which is her marriage to Julio Sterne, father to the
deceased and the big-shot film maker. And then what of Romaine
Brook, the celebrated young Oscar-winning actress? Is she innocent
of the alleged murder? Being framed? Or is she duping the jury by
putting on the best act of her life? The situation is further
tangled when Alonzo Fahey, a private-eye with Quixotic tendencies,
unwittingly opens Pandora's Box, as he makes inquiries in the wrong
places, although for the right reasons. The outcome will shorten
your breath...when, just as that great pundit H. L. Mencken once
observed: "Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is
justice."
