The body of a small girl, dressed as an angel, is discovered late one night in a pile of autumn leaves at the side of the road. At first it looks like a hit and run - after all, it's Halloween night and the streets have been full of children trick or treating. But how did a three-year-old come to be alone on the dark streets at such a late hour?

Lawrence, the policeman sent to investigate, finds himself under increasing pressure when it becomes clear that the chief suspect is the town's start quarterback. In the ensuing cover-up, Lawrence finds himself a pawn in the power games between the local mayor, the suspect's family, and an investigator with some personal scores to settle.

*****

Lawrence is a loser, who cannot stop dringking and wining about his miserable live - this is very boring!
The final solution to the crime is rather boring as well...

RELEASE NOTES:

in front of Bertucci's

Really didn't like the character, or any other people in the book except for
the innocent child! Maybe they should all get out of town.
