Asked by lawyer Moxie Castin to investigate who or what caused the death of a woman found buried in the woods, private detective Charlie Parker can’t say no. There’s history between Charlie and Moxie, and Charlie knows full well that the finding of a Star of David on a nearby tree at the burial site would not be the only reason Castin has such a keen interest.  Yes, the deceased had evidently given birth just before she was murdered, and the local police expect to find the body of a newborn nearby.  But as always when Charlie is requested to investigate, there will always be complexities beyond the understanding of the police tasked to solve the crime.
