After a wild night, wealthy Michael Reston's adulterous wife Charleen comes home with her ripe young body barely concealed by a dress in rags; murder results. Top New York defense lawyer J.G.

In due course, Blane discovers he's been "taken for a ride," and that quiet desert communities can be deadly.
