"Design for Murder", by George Batson, was originally written as a touring vehicle for the great Talullah Bankhead in the early 1930s depression-era America.
As fallout from the Great Depression spreads,
Celia Granger's estate on the Hudson River, totters on the brink of collapse. The only thing that can save her is a socially advantageous marriage for her unstable son, David.
But, when that impending union is threatened by a blackmailing maid and chauffeur, and each in turn is found brutally murdered, Celia finds herself the primary suspect in an investigation by the watchful village constable.
