"The local abortion doctor, Diana Duprey, is found murdered in her pool.
The possible list of suspects include:
Frank, an attorney in the DA's office and her husband of twenty years, who fought bitterly with her the night of the murder. To provide an alibi would be to disclose his infidelities to his wife and possibly risk losing his job.
The daughter, Megan, a college freshman experimenting with drugs and relationships. She also had a bitter fight with her mother shortly before the murder.
Reverend Stephen O'Connell, founder of the town's pro-life coalition. His involvement with Diana goes from political to personal when Diana becomes involved with the abortion of his son's girlfriend.
