This house, located in Cypress Canyon, has recently been completed after years of delay due to the war. The story begins with Jerry's casual conversation with his friend Sam, a detective, who visits him during the holiday season. As they chat, Jerry reveals that he has discovered a manuscript written by a man named James A.
