Tender Nightmare

In the 1950s in St. Petersburg, Florida, four eleven-year-old boys (two sets of twins, one Identical), attempt to track down the source of several mysterious murders in town, finding themselves tangled in the web of a Nazi cabal.

The story takes place nine years after the end of one of the deadliest wars in history: World War II. The aforementioned twins and their families are just two of many trying to carve out calm and fruitful existences in a nice place. But, Death, evil death, comes as a powerful opponent. The horror and mystery begin when some of the local residents begin to turn up dead. The savvy quartet of twins were due to start their sixth-grade, big shot year at Lakeside Elementary. Because of an incompetent Sheriff and Under-Sheriff, the only law in the tiny town, the twins recruit their former fifth-grade teacher, who, pre-educator, graduated from the Annie-Oakley Institute. The terror gets too personal when the physical-duplicate pair are abducted. It becomes a frantic race to rescue them before they become further pieces of the communities' nightmare...
