I think he was selling something...or he had items in his coat....no crime...it was mysterious I think...he was a male...and a kid was watching him from a window...ah..hard to remember
I remember it was in 12th grade and black paper back book...all I remember...it starts out with it raining and thunder storming and a man comes to the door...I think he had a trench coat or briefcase trying to sell something....
