Book description
At 9 am on 31st December a man gets onto the packed escalator of a
metro station and fires a silenced machine gun through a paper bag. He
escapes without being spotted in the confusion caused by dozens of
killed and injured people. A note is delivered to the mayor of
Washington, D. C., demanding million, or the writer will instruct the
gunman to strike again, at 4. 00, 8. 00 and midnight. The mayor decides
to pay up. But then a man is killed in a hit and run accident - his
fingerprints match the prints on the note. With the brains behind the
operation dead, there's no way of stopping the gunman killing again, and
again, and again... The only thing the FBI have to go on is the note.
And Parker Kincaid, forensic document expert, is the only man who can
stop the killer.
