Holloman CT, a small university town, is overwhelmed with a dozen murders in one 24 hour period on April 3, 1967. There doesn't seem to be any kind of connection - the victims range from the CEO of a major conglomerate to an 18 month old Down Syndrome baby. None of the victims is killed in the same manner, but Carmine Delmonico, the head of the homicide division in the town is sure there has to be a connection.
The investigation into each death and eventual connections, draws Delmonico and others into a dangerous and threatening situations. The reader is taken on a roller coaster ride of questions and answers that eventually lead to a satisfactory conclusion.
