SummaryFor young Stanley Mitchell, Jr., 1958 is quickly becoming a
year of newfound joys and thrilling adventure. Beginning
with the discovery of hidden love letters, and an uneasy
meeting with Buster Lighthorse Smith, the Dewdrop Drive-
in's elderly projectionist and former reservation
policeman, Stanley learns about blues music, Sherlock
Holmes, racism, and lost dreams. Through the natural course
of growing up, he discovers the true nature of his father's
heart; the love of his mother and sister and house servant,
Rosy; and becomes involved in a forbidden world that exists
beneath Dewmont, Texas, like dirt and bacteria beneath a
beautiful carpet. Stanley enters a forbidden world of
secrets filled with death and darkness, jealous lovers, and
ghostly occurrences-until he finds the real murderer of the
young girl who wrote the love letters he found, and becomes
the murderer's next target.
