From the publisher:

New Brunswick, New Jersey, Thursday, September 14, 1922. Reverend Edward Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills take a stroll in the town's park in the evening. Shots are heard. Two days later their bodies are found lying on the ground very neatly, next to each other, with her hand on his thigh, love letters strewn around them, the scarf on her neck covering up the deep bloody slit in it. Reverend Hall, himself married, was in an open secret of an affair with Mrs. Mills, a woman of his choir. The perfect ingredients for a juicy sandal and fascinating investigation which the nation's press hungrily devours. No clues or evidence are sufficient to make an indictment stick. Was it suicide? A jealous rival? The case reopens four years later as new information is brought to light, indicting the reverend's wife. But she is an upstanding member of her community denying to the last that her husband had any affair...

A fascinating new entry in the Treasury of 20th Century Murder series.
