But after the whistle-blower threatened to bring down the notorious crime boss Jerry Armstrong, and had a bounty placed on his head in return, everybody wanted him.

The victim was found in a locked room, and Rycroft doesn't see how any of the three suspects could have possibly committed the murder.And, to make matters harder, all of them have confessed.
