Detective Stan Shepherd lies comatose in the hospital, a victim of arsenic poisoning. The New Pointe Police have Celia Shepherd, his wife, as the prime suspect. This isn't the first time she's heard such charges. Her first husband died under similar circumstances. The case against her had been dropped on a technicality. This time though the investigation turns up a solid motive, with an old flame of Celia's waiting conveniently in the wings. Evidence against her is mounting, but her attorney Jill Clark thinks the puzzle fits together too neatly. Either her client's Christian faith is a sham, or she's a victim of a deadly frame-up and the real killer is still out there.
