The Bridge

Helena Harding lives in an upscale island community and sells real estate successfully. The island is connected to the state's capital city by a 300-foot high bridge five miles long. Helena's acrophobia prevents her from driving across the bridge. She can only cross when her husband is driving. She and her husband hold a housewarming party at their new home. Some time during the party a beautiful colleague is murdered. In helping to solve the crime Helena learns that there is more than one way to overcome acrophobia even if it means taking the risk of almost being murdered.
