A guy and a woman are making love.... One hot summer time afternoon 25 % century back, a prosperous socialite and her young lover, a private institution professor, were gunned down in an inexpensive hotel room on the outskirts of the Midwestern city of Calista. Now, forensic sketch musician David Weiss has went back to his hometown for a routine movie star murder trial for ABC. For someone who has gained a reputation for cracking high-profile cases along with his portraits of suspects based on eyewtiness accounts, chruning out courtroom sketches is only pedestrian work. But Calista holds other destinations for David. First, there are the welcome attentions of CNN reporter Pam Wells. Then there's the notoriously unsolved double murder at the Flamingo Court motel that has haunted him since boyhood. Like his psychoanalyst daddy before him, David becomes obsessed with one of the Flamingo patients, Barbara Fulraine - who was simply as amazing as she was enigmatic - and with the bizarre group of friends, gangsters, columnists, and buffs who ornamented her. David's daddy assumed that if he could unlock Barbara's troubling, repeating headache - which she called "the dream of the damaged horses" - his solution would make a watershed in his career. Now David, armed with old news clippings and law enforcement officials interviews, as well as an extraordinary psychological case study of Mrs. Fulraine just lately learned among his deceased father's effects, seeks to work with his highly honed professional skills to reassemble the face of her killer. But with each eyewitness interview and each fresh stroke of his pencil, David discovers himself being hurled down a route of ever-darkening mystery, obsession and dread. One of our most tasteful and commanding authors of psycho-erotic suspense, William Bayer has made a riveting, sharp-edged psychological thriller, perhaps his finest, most persuasive work to date.
