Crime was not rampant in Piccallili, Mississippi. One murder alone would have caused a sensation, but the second one convinced the denizens of the small rural town that a full blown serial killer was on the loose. The stock market crash of 1929 had not adversely affected the already poor economy to any extent. Six years later, the town was still almost exactly the same as it had been before, only now someone had a secret that necessitated the removal of two of its residents at the same location.
