Description: Boston landlady Harriet Sutton discovers a note about a conspiracy to murder someone -- and the note must have come from one of her tenants. When one of her tenants is murdered, she becomes worried when the police investigate her son, a Vietnam veteran, considering him a victim of 'combat fatigue' who would be capable of anything. She asks forensic psychiatrist Dr. Basil Willing to investigate.
