Even his wife was a very good friend of Julia. Working as a freelance journalist, Julia Henderson had the reputation of raising the pulses of all the young and old males miles around with her amazing beauty. When the police begins to investigate Julia’s murder, they find small pieces of an earthenware from her scalp, which provide the only information of the murder weapon. And when Ian Rober is called upon to investigate with his detective team, he discovers fingerprints all around the house. The finger prints tend to make him certain that Julia’s mendacious husband, whom she had separated from, is the prime suspect. However, he is not the only one in Ian Rober’s list of suspects. One among the other couple of suspects include a jealous, cold, and calculating wife who thinks that both her son and husband had an affair with Julia. The other suspect turns out to be a womanizing teacher, who was recently suspended for indulging in an affair with a student. Finally, as the police come across unexpected confessions, they move in to arrest the culprit, whose revelation dumbfounds and shock everyone.
