Summary

The murder of two workers at the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind, as well as two children, shocked the town of Talladega, Alabama. But the murders didn't end there, and happened in a very short span of time. Just days, in fact. Suspicion quickly turned to the new guy in town, who they learned had a troubling past.
