Spring, 1967. Captain Carmine Delmonico has a great deal on his plate. Twelve murders have taken place on one day in the little city of Holloman, population 150,000. And it's far too many murders. Is there one killer or many? Is there a connection between the seemingly unconnected victims? Is it all to do with Chubb University, or amaments giant Cornucopia? The small town force is over-taxed with local politics, academic rivalry and corporate greed as they try to get to the bottom of this particular day. A real page turner.
