The Question

Everyone loves Tangerine Clements, but Travis is the man she marries. Tangie could chop your head off with an ax, he often says, and you would finish up blaming the ax itself. When one of Tangies former lovers is found dead, apparently suicide, he leaves a journal that claims she is planning to kill him. His dead body is surrounded by exactly 323 tangerines. The police investigate but find no evidence of anything other than a mentally disturbed man killing himself. Two years pass. Then another dead body is discovered. Again there are 323 tangerines. The game has begun.
