Lucille's Lie

Journalist Sheldon Merrill is assigned to cover a farm fire which destroys one of northern New York's showplace farmsteads. Added to this loss is the discovery of a woman's body, not a victim of the fire but of a murderer.

While the killer remains at large, Sheldon is intrigued by an eccentric young multi-millionaire and his dying sister, Lucille, who makes a shocking confession to her. Lucille pleads for her help to rectify a shattering lie she told her brother.

When it appears that her life is finally back to normal, Sheldon opens her door to a knock and finds herself face-to-face with the murderer.
