Martin Burnside goes to Glenn Falls to judge an art exhibition. While he's there, 2 murders happen and he is determined to figure out who done it. It ended up being Dr. West, the doctor of a wealthy art collector. Overall it was alright, but the accounting information felt very forced and there were so many characters it was hard to keep track of them all.
