Adapted from Agatha Christie's book Five Little  Pigs by the author, Go  Back 
for Murder tells  the story of the young and feisty Carla, who, orphaned at 
the tender age of  five, discovers her mother was imprisoned for murdering her 
father and  determines to prove her innocence. 
Before dying in prison  for supposedly poisoning her husband fifteen years 
ago, Caroline Crale wrote her  daughter Carla that she was clearly innocent. 
Carla, aided by Justin Fogg (a  solicitor from the law firm who unsuccessfully 
defended her mother), persuades  those present that fatal day to return to the 
scene when Aymas Crale is painting  Elsa, his latest infatuation.
