Rookie Officer Flora Vastine of the Swatara Creek Police Department is called to Creekside Rest, a nursing facility, where a female guest has been murdered. Ray Fertig, another guest who claims to have been the victims lover, is found in the room with the body. Fertig shocks Flora with tales of senior sexuality and asks to speak with former police chief Dan Sticks Hetrick. Now a consultant to the department, Hetrick knows Fertigs unsavory past and is reluctant to discount him as a suspect despite evidence to the contrary. Hetrick and Vastine's investigation soon turns up more lovers from Fertig's past, and an unexpected solution to the crime. A short work from our Fingerprints mystery line.
