Pam and Jerry North are sure their friend couldn’t have committed murder, but all the evidence stacks up against him. In flashback to the court room, Mr Baker tells his side of the story. A letter could make all the difference in exonerating him, but it’s lost. None of the other witnesses testify to the existence of the mysterious letter, and Baker’s fate is sealed.
What can the North’s do to help? A man crosses their path who claims to know something about the letter, and will let them have it… for a price. Instructions involve gangsters, a clandestine meeting, and warnings to not bring the cops in on it. Will the North’s be wise, and keep their mouths shut, or will they end up in the morgue?
The bidding war on the letter reaches $50k, and now Jerry has until noon tomorrow to raise it, if he can. . Death threats come his way in the form of a drive by shooting and car chases, forcing the North’s to go into hiding. A Sherlock Holmes story inspires an answer for Pam. Will it work to buy time? Will the letter remain out of reach, and in the hands of thugs?
Can the North’s swing a better deal with the blackmailer? Their friend’s life hangs in the balance. Twists, dangers, and pay back for a black mailer is in store as poetic justice is done.
