Having read the first iteration of this one, I know darn well that it's not at all an "open and shut" case and that there are various aspects of this case that are going to make life very "interesting" for a lot of folk. All in all, I suspect it's going to be "one for the books" before everything is finally settled down and the problem permanently resolved.

Yep, I'm following the basic outline for the first few chapters, with a few changes here and there to tease the reader into coming back.
Let me know how well it works, or doesn't!
N!
