Evidence that clears the name of a boy sentenced for killing his adopted mother
arrives too late to save his life - so who did kill her? According to the
courts, Jacko Argyle bludgeoned his mother to death with a poker. The sentence
was life imprisonment But when Dr Arthur Calgary turns up a year later with the
proof that confirms Jacko's innocence, he is too late - Jacko died behind bars
from a bout of pneumonia. Worse still, the doctor's revelations re-open old
wounds in the family, increasing the likelihood that the real murderer will
strike again?
