A Life In Your Hands - The Alderman

Peter Grant is being blackmailed by his secretary Karen Wells and
he has paid her $20,000 to prevent her telling his wife about his
indiscretions. But he had borrowed $15000 of that money from
Sidney Bonden who now wanted his money back and Grant feared that
Bonden may kill him if he didn’t get the money soon. Grant
depressed and not knowing what to do tells his wife everything
and plans to mortgage their house and insurance to get the money
and hopes that when he runs for election as Alderman they will be
able to recover from this situation. Then Kevin Astio turns up
and warns him not to rerun for election again but doing that
would mean he couldn’t get the loans he needed. When Grant is
killed Jonathan Kegg is called in to cross examine the witnesses
including Grant’s neighbour who had called to borrow some milk
moments before he was shot.
