Though the green frog among his lily pads and the dappled deer in the sun-flecked forest are familiar to everyone, adaptive coloration has always confused biologists. Extremists like G.

Finding no motive in $20,000 insurance, Patterson becomes Dr. Earlie's guest, quietly garners enough circumstantial evidence to convict the Doctor or any one of several people who loved and respected Mrs. Earlie.
