Z žalujícího se stává obžalovaný, který je podezříván z vraždy odpůrkyně. Hrdina knihy, advokát Paul Madriani, musí použít všechen svůj um a vyvinout největší úsilí aby svého klienta osvobodil.
Právník Madriani se v románovém trilleru snaží obhájit vědce a lékaře Cronea, obviněného z vraždy kolegyně. Ctižádostivá mladá žena, půvabná afroameričanka Kalista se snažila získat Croneovo místo; měl s ní profesní neshody a právě to, s několika dalšími závažnými věcmi, které roztržitý profesor nedokáže vysvětlit z něj dělá hlavního podezřelého. Doktor Crone nespolupracuje a očividně ho více zajímají pracovní problémy než soudní proces, který by pro něho mohl skončit doživotním vězením. Madriani se snaží najít v bludišti polopravd něco, co by ho přivedlo ke skutečnému pachateli. Mir.
