<DIV><b>On a quiet cul-de-sac, an elderly invalid is slaughtered with an axe</b><DIV></div><DIV><BR>Crescent Place was once a peaceful country green surrounded by five tasteful suburban houses and populated by polite, responsible citizens. But as the city enveloped it, the residents built a gate to keep the world out. With each passing year, the subdivision grew stranger and stranger&mdash;until it began to look like a time capsule of the 1890s. In these houses are a husband and wife who fight constantly, and another couple who hasn&rsquo;t spoken to each other in two decades. There is a widow in permanent mourning and a daughter whom the newspapers call psychotic. And there is a bedridden old woman who is about to be killed with an axe.</div><BR>When her murder shatters the quiet of the little enclave, the tabloids delight in trumpeting the neighborhood&rsquo;s peculiarities. But as the search for the killer intensifies, the area&rsquo;s strangest secrets have yet to be revealed.&#160;</div>
