When Mygirl was set ablaze, two young men got out with their lives, & a third man was charged with the slayings. But in a crowded courtroom, private eye Cecil Younger helped the accused go free, knowing that the headline-grabbing trial did everything but get at the truth. Now, the man who was charged with the Mygirl murders has disappeared, & his wife believes someone has taken revenge.
