Description:Creepy newcomer, Jay Hix, doesn’t take long to make his name in Argus. When a half-naked kid’s found comatose in his van, townsfolk immediately judge him a pervert.***Earlier that day, at an abandoned farm, Hix shoves a lumpy carpet under a rusted combine. He doesn't see a mentally ill man watching him from the dilapidated farmhouse, but when a car drives past, the driver looks his way. Hix stuffs the rug back in his van, and follows the car toward Argus, a town halfway between the boondocks and the backwoods.That evening, in a house near Argus, teenager Nate hosts a party for his buddies. A friend, Rob, goes outside and doesn’t return.Soon afterward, rookie detective, Greg Margrave stops Hix’s van. Within, Margrave finds Rob—unconscious, head bloody, indecently exposed, suspicious stains on his clothes.Hix says he found Rob in a ditch and was rushing him to hospital.Margrave learns Hix just moved to Argus and does renovations. He lets Hix go because he’s unsure a crime occurred.At the hospital, Margrave learns Rob’s comatose. He interviews glum party-host Nate, Ruby, and Alan. Nate tells Margrave they searched for Rob and got to the highway in time to see Hix drag Rob from the ditch and drive away. They've said nothing till now because Rob’s a notorious joker. They believed this was an elaborate joke.Because Hix already told Margrave a different version, Margrave can only guess at the truth.And the truth is elusive.DNA evidence, usually the ultimate answer to crime questions is of no help here, except to tell Margrave that some kind of sex act occurred, and that Hix's van once transported a carpet of some description.Nearly everyone involved in the case has something to hide, but Margrave slowly ferrets out the truth of most things while the eyes of every citizen in Argus watch him. Being a rookie, and figuring everything out as he goes along, he makes some mistakes, which leads to a deadly showdown where three people die.Regardless, the citizens of Argus consider Margrave a hero. He disagrees, and he still wonders about the carpet and it's link to all that happened, but he doubts he'll ever find it.Outside of town, after a rainstorm, the mentally ill man finds the carpet that Jay Hix hid in some trees not far from the abandoned farm. The man picks up the heavy, sopping rug and begins to cart it toward the creaky old farmhouse...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
