Only days later, the wife of an artist is found murdered, bludgeoned by her husband's sculpting mallet, and the police arrest her husband. Convinced her brother did not commit suicide, the doctor's sister turns to Annie and her husband Max for help. She has found a cryptic sketch her brother drew, linking him with the murdered woman. Did someone want them both out of the picture? With the police considering both cases as good as closed, it's up to Annie and Max to sort through a rogues' gallery of suspects to see if someone is trying to frame the artist. But if Annie isn't careful, she may find herself having her own brush with death...

Despite an array of suspects to match Griffith's cast of characters--and a promise to her husband Max to steer clear of sleuthing--Annie's not about to let the police throw the book at her friend when the real killer remains at large...
