After Anna 300

Anna the Imposter! Noah convicted! Now, Maggie sort of knows the truth. So who is behind the plot? Anna's $ is the motive. James, the lawyer? I can't think of anyone else.
So . . . why does James kill her? Is there some way he can get at her inheritance? Lots of questions . . . I'll be interested if the answers work out.
Catholic phrase: avoid the near occasion of sin. L.S. has Noah, after a huge fight with his wife and with his marriage in tatters, go upstairs to a hotel room where he meets a gorgeous ex-lover wearing only a robe.  She lets the robe fall, kisses him . . . and he leaves.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (1873–1874) and the  Nile Exp
