His apartment building, Charing Cross, is a renovated old tire company plant. He immediately is plagued by a voice during the night repeating "S.A.M." and "S.A.M. murdered me". He investigates the history of murders in the old building and finds only one that has remained unsolved: Jim Henderson, brother of Clearwater police detective Robert Henderson, who continues after twenty years to look for a resolution to the unsolved mystery.
