β¦ Synopsis
Stranded in a small town, a stranger falls for a suspected murderessBored, divorced, and unemployed, Chatham is on his way to the Gulf of Mexico when he passes through a small town by the river. Itβs a miserable little burgβfour stoplights and not much elseβand heβs almost escaped it when a drunkβs car darts out in front of him, causing a nasty fender-bender. The thought of three days waiting for his clunker to get fixed is a grim one, but though he doesnβt know it, there wonβt be a dull minute.Β Chatham finds hospitality in the lovely form of Mrs. Langton, motel owner and local pariah. Seven months ago her husband was murdered, and though the police could find no evidence to support the theory, everyone in town is convinced she killed him. Now a string of anonymous threats have left her close to a nervous breakdown, and the violence is about to become real. In a town this small thereβs no room for secrets, but plenty of places to bury a corpse.
