Superintendent of Middlefield Schools, Colin Winslow, suffers an
allergic reaction while driving home from a school board meeting.
He uses an epinephrine injector device he is testing for his
inventor friend, John Burns, but to no avail. Winslow collapses and
dies as his car smashes the railroad crossing gates and collides
with a train.
New York detective Rick Canyon is rousted out of bed by Roger
Greenfield to go to the accident scene at the request of Winslow's
wife, Alex.
Coroner Bill Crandell's autopsy shows that chocolate milk Winslow
had been drinking was laced with penicillin, to which Winslow was
highly allergic.
Glen Abner, the school district's treasurer, is arrested. He gave
Winslow the milk. His motive: Winslow accused him of embezzling
school funds, which Abner admitted to but did not want such
degrading and embarrassing information to become public and destroy
his career.
Canyon discovers that a paranoid Winslow had secretly taped all
his conversations with school officials. Canyon's pregnant wife,
Maddie, uses technology supplied by computer expert, Dan Hennigan,
to decode the tapes to create a list of murder suspects. Canyon
discovers Winslow's tell-all memoirs of twisted dealings from
various school systems in which he had previously served as
superintendent that ultimately revealed additional suspicious
characters.
