And then he received the small note in a laboured, childish scrawl:

"She didn't...she didn't...she didn't!"

Is beautiful Barbara Wentworth, on trial for the fatal poisoning of her wealthy sister, Laura Canning, whose heir she was, telling the truth--or is she deceitfully spinning a web of lies? Antony Maitland, brought in by Barbara's barrister, his eminent uncle, Sir Nicholas Harding, Q. C., to investigate the case, believes his uncle's lovely client is innocent of the crime, though he also feels certain as well that she has been telling him lies. Determining what it is that Barbara is lying about-and just whom she would tell lies for-is essential if Antony is to find his way out of this baffling murder maze. Also essential is getting to the truth of the dead Laura Canning's character. Was she the saint many around her believed, or something altogether more complex?
