1948 is drawing to a close and things couldn't be much worse for
Private Detective Hamilton Baker. It starts with a simple phone call
from Diana Kramer, a smooth tongued woman who begs the detective to
find letters she's written to her lover, Sheriff's Deputy Chester
"Chet" Ferrebee. Chet is to wed another woman this afternoon and Diana,
the scorned mistress, wants the letters back where they belong.with
her. Hours after the wedding, when Chet turns up dead in a roadside
motel room, his bride beaten beyond recognition and unable to remember
anything, Baker fears his client is somehow involved. As he searches
for the letters, he unwillingly digs into the past of the sleepy town
of Crane Haven and uncovers the dangerous secrets of a group of men who
shattered a young girl's mind, as well as her chance for happiness,
years ago.
