## Description
The cozy mountain town of Walpole has only ever known peace and tranquility, thanks to its strong community bonds and dedication to family values. That is, however, until recently...

Three attacks in the last ten days - families murdered, each time. It's a tragedy they never thought possible, not in their town, and they respond in the only way they can come up with: they don't. 

But the danger still lurks, and not all of us are so keen on the idea of waiting out this crisis till it passes - or worse, till we're all dead. 

There's a killer out there. And whoever they are, they will strike again. 

So... who's stupid enough to take this mystery on?
