When a young secretary from Minnesota is arrested for shoplifting at a department store, Public Defender Richard Manning digs deeper than the surface charge—discovering that her troubled behavior stems from a lifetime of rigid parental control rather than criminal intent.

When a businessman drops dead at the racetrack, his secretary Roger Case sees an opportunity—and a problem.
