There is evidence that a sordid murder has been committed in this pleasant, secluded house in Corinth. The walls of the sunny, bright kitchen are spattered with blood, and a pool of it has dried near the breakfast table. There are other signs of a fierce struggle, but upstairs the two young Cumming children are playing quietly, unknowingly.The Corinth Police Department, chronically below strength, and ill-equiped for the task, begins its investigation under Sergeant Baird. He believes Albert Cummings, the husband of the missing woman is the prime suspect. What emerges from his intense search is a portrait of a man and a community where the most common homicide makes a rare appearance in a small town.
