Murder and the Ex-Con: Jealousy

Description

Murder turns Lakeside, North Carolina, into a finger-pointing, accusation-throwing place to live.

A dead husband and a fire poker.
Police think the wife is guilty.
The ex-con next door who did fifteen years of hard time is a suspect.

The accused take comfort in the company of one another.
Their secrets keep them from moving forward.

As facts in the case come to light, the accuser becomes a suspect for being more than a jealous friend.
Someone leaves in handcuffs after a confession is on a home security audio system.
The question is, who is it?
