Nor film actress and former paramour Maxine Marlowe. Nor Dudley Kincaid, whose brilliant screenplay Sinclair stole. Nor landlady Hazel Turner, whose husband, Jerome, is deceased but not exactly gone... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kate sifts through tantalizing clues: a set of handcuffs fastening the murdered man to his bed of death; an album of a Wagner opera; a bourbon bottle lightly dosed with arsenic; a silver frame missing its photo. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e She is also in a quandary over her fascination with Paula Grant, who discovered the murdered man.
