Il romanzo di Thelma Jordon

La storia

Cleve Marshall, assistente del procuratore distrettuale Miles Scott, una sera, egli è ancora nel suo ufficio, arriva Thelma Jordon, una giovane affascinante donna che aveva un appuntamento con Scott, ormai andato via. La donna gli racconta una storia di criminali e ladri di appartamento, mentre Cleve continua a bere ubriacandosi. L'uomo vede in Thelma una persona che lo ascolta, si recano in un locale e i due finiscono con l'avere una relazione clandestina. Thelma è una donna misteriosa e Cleve non può far a meno di chiedersi se nasconda qualcosa. La donna abita con la vecchia e ricca zia, di cui si occupa assistendola. Quando questa viene trovata morta nella sua villa colpita da un'arma da fuoco, Thelma invece di chiamare la polizia chiama Cleve, che la aiuta a coprire le prove che potrebbero incriminarla, ma la donna, in seguito all'investigazione ufficiale, viene vista come prima sospettata del delitto, essendo l'erede universale delle facoltose sostanze della zia.
