Storyline

A man pays an angry visit to the Advice Column writer counselor whom he believes ruined his marriage with the advice she gave to his wife. He picks up a piece of metal artwork and threatens her. When she's found dead, murdered with that same artwork, Ben agrees to defend him. The lawyer discovers that the dead woman's own marriage situation was quite unusual, possibly revealing a different suspect and motive.
