Denmark, Tennessee, stinks. The smell hits Horatio Wilkes the moment he pulls into town to visit his best friend, Hamilton Prince. And its not just the paper plant and the polluted river thats stinking up Denmark: Hamiltons father has been poisoned and the killer is still at large. Why? Because nobody believes that Rex Prince was murdered. Nobody except Horatio and Hamilton. Now they need to find the killer, but it wont be easy. It seems like everyone in Denmark is a suspect. Motive, means, opportunity they all have them. But who among them has committed murder most foul?
