rbt1985e4x03 choice Everyone was languishing in the oppressive summer heat. The retired insurance man Mr. Foxe was convinced that more murders were committed at 102 Fahrenheit than at any other temperature. The story follows Mr. Foxe and his colleague Mr. Shaw as they take it upon themselves to prevent Annabelle, a cantankerous neighborhood housewife, from getting murdered during a heatwave. Alas, Annabelle's husband returned home from the bar in something of a rage and fatally bludgeoned her with his longshoreman's hook. Mr. Foxe's thermometer read 102 degrees at the time of the murder, thus lending credence his theory.
