Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
While serving a sentence for killing his foster mother - a crime he insisted he didn't commit - Jacko Argyle dies in prison. Two years later, the man who could have supported Jacko's alibi suddenly turns up.
Recovering from amnesia, Dr. Arthur Calgary discovers what happened in his mental absence - and that he alone could have provided an alibi in this wrongful conviction. But the young man's innocence means that someone else killed the Argyle matriarch, and that person would certainly kill again to remain in the shadows.
An adoptive son dies in prison after being convicted for the murder of his mother, but when Dr. Arthur Calgary proves the boy's innocence, the family becomes surprisingly nervous and hostile.
