Und am nächsten Morgen wird die Kritikerin tot aufgefunden, ermordet mit einem antiken Dolch, der dem Autor gehört, und auf dem seine Fingerabdrücke verteilt sind. Er wird verhaftet, und in seiner Zelle wird ihm voller Verzweiflung klar, dass ihm jetzt nur noch einer helfen kann - Daniel Hawthorne.
