But one thing is odd-Beatrice Wansdyke died a very wealthy woman. What was an old schoolteacher doing with a small fortune? Meanwhile, Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan, Calleshire's finest investigator, learns he is about to become a father. But with ominous players hell-bent on pursuing Miss Wansdyke's money, will Sloan live to see his child's first birthday?
