Ace defense attorney Bomber Hanson takes on a new client, a hotheaded young Communist accused of murdering his wealthy heiress employer, on the theory that the man is too obnoxious to be guilty. In David Champion's witty She Died for Her Sins: A Bomber Hanson Mystery, the attorney is again aided by his hapless, stuttering son, Tod, who chases after witnesses and falls in love with a bombshell violinist who might just help him solve the case.

Famous defense attorney Bomber Hanson's put-upon son and gofer, Tod, investigates the murder of a controlling and manipulative Chicago heiress during her first and only visit to a California oceanfront mansion she has long owned. Bomber has decided to defend the Mexican gardener accused in the case, despite the man's outspoken political leanings, so Tod questions all the other principals: personal secretary, chauffeur, lawyer, beneficiaries, etc. With a little assist from the lawyer's secretary, Tod overcomes a seemingly impossible situation. A quick-moving plot, great dialog, and steadily engaging prose make this sixth Bomber Hanson mystery (after Too Rich and Too Thin) a real winner.
