Tricia Cooley's dream is to escape her life in the Black Hills forever and follow her love of art into the Chicago galleries, but her exotic beauty draws the attention of any man seeing her on or off the Sioux Reservation. Her fantasy becomes a nightmare when the one man she trusts turns her into a killer, and escaping means running for her very life. While Tricia tears blindly through the night, the scent of death fills the air with sweet allure to a rogue band of shape-shifters.

Un racconto giallo con evento soprannaturale che ben si sposa al fatto che il racconto è ambientato durante le festività natalizie alle quali stiamo andando incontro. Un avvocato scompare senza lasciare traccia mentre trasporta un'ingente somma di denaro che non gli appartiene. Tutti pensano a un furto, e lo scandalo è grande. Poi, a distanza di tempo, l'avvocato riappare sull'espresso delle quattro e un quarto (da cui il titolo dell'opera) e, come se niente fosse, intrattiene il protagonista del libro con una interminabile chiacchierata. Ma nulla quadra.
