But when the suicide is revealed to be a case of murder, and when Ashley falls in love with the sister of prime suspect Walter Thorpe, his position becomes a difficult one as he struggles to clear the man's name. With a rival journalist determined to convict Thorpe of the murder, Ashley faces a race against time as he searches for a key witness. Yet, if Thorpe wasn't guilty, who was? And if it wasn't suicide, who fired the shots? And why...?
