Deal with Murder

Lynn Harker, a young painter, receives a death threat over the phone from an unknown caller, which she discusses with her fiance, Tom Swain. At the same time, Lynn has received a letter calling her to the side of her rich Aunt Nina, from whom she's been estranged for five years.But after being called down on the pretext of reconciliation, Lynn finds she has been tricked by her spiteful aunt. After an argument in which her aunt tells her she has been written out of her will and that she will leave all her money to her companion, Lynn leaves in a huff at 4:40 p.m., even though her aunt would not provide her transportation to the train station, more than six miles away, to catch the train back to London at 5:05 p.m. Five minutes later on her walk back, she is picked up by an American tourist who, on his last day in England, is taking his hired car back to town. He drops her off in time to just catch her train where she shares a compartment with Mike, a North Country Traveller, with whom she continues talking with after her arrival at Waterloo Station.When she finally arrives back at her studio in Regent's Park, she is met by her fiance and Detective-Sergeant Harvey of the North Sussex CID, who have been waiting at her studio since 7:15 p.m. The detective tells her that her aunt was murdered at 5:15 p.m. - shot through the back of the head - and the gun that killed her had Lynn's fingerprints on it. Lynn has been set up and will soon find out that the two men who can give her an alibi will be extremely hard, if not impossible, to track down.
