Plot summary

Detectives Goren and Eames investigate a 911 call made by the son of a wealthy and prominent historian stating to operator that his parents will not wake up. The detectives arrive and find the man poisoned, with his wife still clinging to his corpse. At first, the death appears to be an accident, until Goren and Eames look below the surface. First they look at the gardener whom the wife had been cheating with. But was cleared due to his multiple other affairs with his client's wives during the time period. Then the finger turns to the victim's wife who goes into a mental breakdown. Her brother-in-law and father-in-law (who hate her due to her past) clear her by claiming that she can't stay clean long enough to go through with serious plans like that. The finger of suspicion soon points to the victim's brother, an irresponsible man who was perpetually short of money, on the edge of losing every thing and had recently been cut off by his sibling. Nevertheless, when he is also found dead, the detectives turn their attention to the two men's wives, both of whom had multiple reasons to want the brothers dead.
