Opis

Early one San Francisco September morning the 9-1-1 operator takes a call from Oliver Hamelin, an unscrupulous and widely reviled businessman, who claims he killed his wife. He had, but he won't tell the police why. He eventually pleads guilty to second degree murder. But after being sentenced to prison for fifteen years he informs his lawyer that a DVD he received in the mail showing his wife having sex with a young man drove him to kill her. The lawyer says this is grounds for reducing his conviction to voluntary manslaughter with as little as two-years prison time. But the DVD is not to be found. Andrew MacCrimmon enters the case, charged with locating it. He does, but in the process he finds there's much more to the case than a man killing his wife in a jealous rage-financial shenanigans in the many millions of dollars. The major players have already killed one person, and they're determined to kill MacCrimmon before he can divulge what he knows.
