The Night Before the Death of Sherry Bates

Two years after the murder of sherry joe bates in benetia, california. It was between nine 30 and ten o'clock when a small sports car slowly came to a stop on a gravel turnout half a mile down the road from lake herman. Behind the wheel was william crow. The car belonged to his girl friend, who was riding beside him in the passenger seat. Although the car was new, it was having some troubles, so william had taken it for a cruise to test out the engine. His route led him down lake herman road, a five mile stretch that curved through the countryside to the neighboring city of valejo.
