Ključna riječ Confession Of Crime

U malom gradu u Teksasu živi Bernie Tiede, pogrebnik koji je voljeni član zajednice. Bernie iznenada postaje prijatelj s udovicom Marjorie Nugent koju ostali smatraju hladnom i rezerviranom, no dvojac postane nerazdvojan, odlaze na putovanja i na ručkove. U početku je Bernie bio sretan, no počela ga je smetati njezina konstantna potreba za pažnjom zbog čega je znala biti i pomalo agresivna. Kako to više nije mogao izdržati, Bernie je jedan dan ubije, a kako je nitko nije volio sugrađani niti ne postavljaju previše pitanja o njezinom nestanku.

It's an iconic line in any crime story: when a suspect is arrested and gets to make one call. In reality, once a person enters the criminal justice system, there are multiple opportunities to make calls while awaiting trial. The vast majority of those calls are recorded. An admission, a threat, a slip of the tongue, a bribe -- it's all on tape and the suspect knows it, but this doesn't always prevent people from talking and talking. Jailhouse phone calls are used to frame the narrative of murder investigations steeped in mystery.
