Fame Through Infamy
 The Crime Is Mine / int_b246d59
comment
Fame Through Infamy: Instead of denying that Madeleine murdered Montferrand (which is the truth), the two friends claim she did it, leading to a string of good luck for the both of them: At the trial, Pauline manages to turn Madeleine into a feminist icon for murdering a rapist in self-defense, greatly helping both of their careers, while Palmarède, a rich architect who gained a lot of money from Montferrand's death, becomes Madeleine's friend and ally. All is well until the actual murderer shows up and threatens to blackmail them if they don't help her.
