Rose's Last Summer

Rose French, a great star of the silent screen, who had married and left five husbands, dies suddenly one day at the end of summer. It was assumed by the police that she died of natural causes, but Frank Clyde thinks otherwise. Clyde worked as a psychiatric social worker at the local mental hygiene clinic. He had met Rose about a year ago during one of her slightly drunk and belligerent phases and since then they had talked quite often. Rose had called Clyde to tell him she had found a job and was leaving town, but something about her death didn't fit the facts.
