In a trailer park an unemployed writer with no family or friends has been murdered-and someone drew a circle of blood next to the body. That's enough for some to conclude it's the latest act of terrorism by a group, The Circle, that claims to be pacifist. Detective Robert Philman seems to be the only one who notices that there is no connection between the victim and the group, but he doesn't have a murder weapon, clues, motive or suspect either.
