Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Brother and sister orphans find the man who abused them!

Alton Rhode goes to Oregon to bury his aunt. It turns out she left him a valuable piece of property. But that is not his only surprise. A local sheriff seeks his help on what she suspects is the murder of a prominent citizen. There are few clues and no real evidence of foul play. But a discovery by some kids on a field trip tantalizes the private eye. What he eventually finds out tests his faith in both justice and the law.
