It's 1958 in Black River Falls, Iowa (pop. 26,750), and at Bill Malley's barber shop and the lunch counter in the local Rexall, there's
 a lot of talk, a lot of it negative, about communism, fluoride, civil rights marches, a guy named Kennedy, and Martin Luther King. 
And even at twenty-six, with a law degree and a private investigator's license, Sam McCain thinks nothing of driving four hours of
 two-lane blacktop (with the radio forecasting major snowfalls) in his '51 red Ford ragtop for a performance, on February 3, by his
 personal favorite rock-and-roll idol, Buddy Holly. The next morning brings McCain more than the bad news of Buddy Holly's fatal 
plane crash. The dawn's barely cracked when McCain finds the dead body of Susan Whitney in the living room of her huge Tudor-style
 mansion outside of town, and upstairs, within the same hour, her bully of a husband, Richie, remorsefully confesses to murder and
 kills himself with his rifle. But all of McCain's instincts tell him that Richie didn't also shoot his wife. Then, before the day
 ends, in a canoe on a frozen pond, McCain uncovers another corpse, this time a pregnant teenage girl, that only seems to be 
unrelated to the Whitney case.
