...Damme toils in direct-to-video. Jackie Chan is almost a creaky 50, and Jet Li doesn't work much anymore. The genre needs another hero, and Jaa (Thai name: Phanom Yeerum) is the fellow to fill the void. He's young--28--and good-looking, with a quiet élan to match his athletic skill.

Truro has no main street, no stoplights, no trash pickup. Though the area bustles with writers and artists in the summertime, it is quiet, even suffocating, in the off-season. "In the winter, we pay too much attention to each other," a local told the Boston Globe after the murder. None of that attention had turned lethal since 1969, the year of the last homicide. "When you have an unsolved murder in your town, there's this free-floating anxiety," says Truro resident Maria Flook, who wrote a book about the killing...
