Abstract Stokes Jackson is a slick political operative who comes down to Asheville from New York to run Wayne Gilmore's state senate campaign. It's the early 1920s and women have just gotten the right to vote, so a key part of Jackson's strategy is to persuade women to vote for his candidate. However, Gilmore's opponent is a woman, Joan Bellamy. Jackson's first thought is to throw mud on Bellamy, but before he can do that he is murdered. The whole Bellamy family comes under suspicion. Will Joan be able to prove her innocence with the help of a detective? How will her personal and professional futures look after this?
