About this title

Synopsis

In the small town of Friendship, Missouri, the air is uneasy with expectation - a tornado is approaching. Unable to sleep, the Chief of police makes a tour of inspection before dawn, and finds a farmhouse already destroyed by a forerunner of the great whirlwind. In the ruins he finds the body of a woman - not the farmer's wife, but one of Friendship's leading citizens. What are the suspicious circumstances of her death?
