"It is 1942, and attorney Stella Strong spends most of her time writing wills while often being mistaken for a secretary. What she really wants to do is follow in the footsteps of her father, a famous criminal defense lawyer. She finally gets her chance when she is assigned to defend a young mother accused of murdering her husband. Stella believes that her client is innocent, but in order to prove it she must find the real killer. At the same time, Stella searches for the missing will of a wealthy businessman who died suspiciously just days after consulting her about rewriting his will. When she learns that his family could lose a fortune if he changed it, she realizes that whoever killed him is prepared to kill again to keep a new will from being found. With help from her chums and a policeman with a dark past, Stella races against the clock to find the missing will, and to save an innocent woman from spending the rest of her life in prison."--Amazon.com. |
