In a town dominated by conservative old families, Mrs. Tyler's husband was unique. A former carnival knife thrower covered with tattoos, he presented a fantastic social problem. To make things more desperate, his daughter -- on the verge of a concert debut --jilted one of the townβs favorite sons...and showed marked interest in a handsome, somewhat sinister, newcomer.
The situation became literally deadly when the body of a murdered man was found in the driveway of the Tyler home -- and what had been scandal grew into horror!
