The Library Board's quiet campaign to raise an endowment through discreet blackmail hits a snag when one of its targets is found dead in the baptistry of the Baptist Church. Before it's over, the town's dirty laundry gets washed clean: the hairdresser boots out her abusive husband; the superintendent of schools accidentally shoots the banker, revealing his illegal kitchen lending operation and dethroning his snarky wife; the first wife of the town bigamist befriends the second wife and unfriends him; and romance blossoms in unexpected places.
