Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Crowning Circle


"Doc" Skeet Cullum, is a forensic psychologist. Jake is an inventor-engineer who owns a company called Solutions, Inc. On Thursdays, they get together at Jake's house to play guitar. On the morning of one of these Thursdays, three violent deaths occur - one a murder without apparent motive. The news interrupts Skeet's proposal to his girlfriend of seven years.
