The leading suspect is the estranged husband of the victim, but Barnaby and J.R. dig up evidence (and other possible murders) that indicates it's one of the other friends.
Barnaby and J.R. try to protect a man who is on the run from gangsters who want to kill him before he can testify against them. But a femme fatal gets close to unsuspecting J.R. in order to find him first.
