At stake is a share in the lucrative forest-products business started by Mrs. Telford's husband, and Julie's resemblance to Myron is striking indeed. But since her alleged mother is dead, Duncan has to search for Julie's identity with the help of Mrs. Telford's super-rich attorney, a skeptical sheriff, a hard-drinking friend of Myron's and a truck driver who meets a suspicious demise.
