Veien opp til himmels

A group of bad cops look to dispose of a body that one of them accidentally shot.

A crooked politician finds himself being accused of murder by a gangster from whom he refused help during a re-election campaign.

A murderer is brought to court and only Miss Marple is unconvinced of his guilt. Once again she begins her own investigation.

When Watson reads from the newspaper there have been two similar murders near Whitechapel in a few days, Sherlock Holmes' sharp deductive is immediately stimulated to start its merciless method of elimination after observation of every apparently meaningless detail. He guesses right the victims must be street whores, and doesn't need long to work his way trough a pawn shop, an aristocratic family's stately home, a hospital and of course the potential suspects and (even unknowing) witnesses who are the cast of the gradually unraveled story of the murderer and his motive.

When a stranger enters a quiet, country town and is seduced by a sensuous married woman he unwittingly finds himself at the centre of a storm of sexual guilt and murder.
