Midnight Blue

After the bodies of Sue Murphy and Steve McElroy are exhumed, a tiny needle puncture wound is found on the left arm of Steve McElroy, while signs of strangulation are evident on the neck of Sue Murphy. What previously had been reported as two independent deaths from natural causes is now being considered second-degree murders, punishable by life imprisonment. This change of opinion directly conflicts with what previously seemed to have been an unshakable premise.

Were the original police investigation and medical report composed of half-truths and shadowy suppositions resulting from incompetence? Were lies purposely told to conceal the truth? Were there other suspects not investigated? What really happened?

This is fiction, but is so powerful it could be real. You will admire some of the characters while despising others. When you think you've figured out what is going on, you realize there are other clues that dangle, screaming to be told. Then, when you add to the mix the card of love, you realize that what you thought was true no longer is. The final riddle's answer is up to you.
