It was one fight too many for Simon Underwood.
Now the rematch will be murder.
Franklin Ward has always been the butt of everyone's jokes. He is used to the bullying and the taunting and usually ignores it. But one night they pushed him too far and he finally snapped.

Now a man is lying dead in the street and people are saying Franklin beat him to death.

Franklin cannot remember what really happened. Could he really be a killer?

Colonel Bainbridge is confronted with the challenge of proving a young man innocent when three witnesses insist he is guilty. Blood could be on Franklin's hands and there seems no way out for the unfortunate soul who finally could take no more.

Discovering who really murdered Simon Underwood is the only way to save Franklin from hanging for murder, but can Bainbridge unravel this mystery when nobody wants to tell him the truth?
