La muerte de Belle

The peaceful life of Spencer Ashby, a school teacher in a small town in the state of New York, comes crashing down the morning that Belle Sherman -the daughter of a friend of his wife whom the couple had been hosting for some time- is found. dead in her house. Being declared the main suspect in the investigation, this naive, shy and self-conscious man knows first-hand the humiliation of police interrogations while being ostracized by his colleagues and the hostility of his neighbors. And it is that, as much as Ashby proclaims his innocence, everyone believes that he is the murderer; even his wife begins to doubt him. How long will it take for him to collapse under the weight of such suspicion? What is a person capable of when he feels completely cornered?
