Prominent television personality Dean Anderson was as popular as he was respected, but he had incurred a good deal of animosity among family, friends and co-workers. Though the police are willing to rule his shooting death a suicide, his old friend Sheila Travis is not. As usual, it's irrepressible Aunt Mary, a perpetual busybody, who manages to get Sheila involved in finding Dean's killer. The list of suspects is long as it is remarkable: a resentful ex-wife, an enraged daughter, a jealous, vindictive co-worker, a mobster with a grudge. The truth goes deeper than either Aunt Mary or Sheila suspects. And it may prove equally fatal.
