"DEATH, CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION VISIT THE MOUNTAIN-RESORT TOWN OF INDIAN HEAD, WYOMING."
-above-the-fold headline shouting from the Caspar Star-Tribune Monday, July 9 Special Two-Part Edition
It's the beginning of the long Fourth of July holiday week, and Indian Head is crawling with tourists from Nebraska.
That's good, because ex-con Jack Ross is counting on those Cornhusker dollars to keep his roadside burger-and-shake joint, Crazy's, going. And then the screaming and the dying start, and a demented killer is caught on grainy cell-phone video fleeing the latest slaughter; he's carrying a bloody ax.
He's also wearing a giant, gore-spattered rooster costume.
Indian Head is immediately swamped by reporters from across the globe. The FBI also arrives to "assist" overwhelmed local and state authorities. All that doesn't matter much to Jack, though, because he's busy watching the tourists flee the mountains, taking their dollars and his dream of keeping Crazy's open for another season with them...and then Jack realizes he's got bigger problems. Evidence left at the murder scenes points straight to him as the costumed killer.
Small-town skeletons and Jack's past soon come out to dance a death-tango as a brilliant maniac secretly hunted by the FBI for decades weaves his ultimate plan for revenge.
