The first Deputy Sheriff Carl Houseman knows of the murder case that will take over his life for the next eleven days is when a call comes into his Nation County police department from an unidentified source, believed female, possibly under fifty. No call back number.
Spread over two remote farms amidst the cornfields of Iowa, Carl eventually finds four bodies - one man with his hand chopped of - but no sign of the female caller. Another body is on his back, legs secured to the bed with black cord. He's been castrated and black wax poured into his eyes. His tongue is missing and there's a substance around his mouth which looks like dried super glue.
Along with Hester, a dyslexic investigator called Theo, a sassy radio dispatcher called Sally, his long suffering schoolteacher wife and numerous Iowa cops who may never have encountered a murder in their lives, Carl somehow manages to collar the perpetrator of these horrific murders in only 'Eleven Days'.
