When fifty-one-year-old Nathan Smith, a once confirmed bachelor, is found in his bed with a hole in his head made by a .38-caliber slug, it's hard not the imagine Nathan's young bride as the one with her finger on the trigger. Even her lawyer thinks she is guilty. But given that Mary Smith is entitled to the best defense money can buy and thanks to Nathan's millions, she can afford plenty. Spenser hires on and finds himself up against a wall that leads nowhere. When Mary's past surfaces, Spencer has to watch his back.
