But Inspector Alastair Ransom sees the rot beneath the splendor of the great Exposition — and he is consumed with an over-powering need for vengeance.

And to end the maniac's reign, Ransom refuses to play by the rules established by the police brass and the corrupt politicians — appointing himself judge, jury . . . and executioner.But white-hot hatred and zealous fury can blind a determined manhunter to a more terrible truth. And dangerous missteps may lead to even greater bloodshed . . .

Dr. Maurice Ovierto was proud of his handiwork. He removed his little trophies with great care from his victims, wrapped them in surgical gauze and sent them by Express Mail only. Human flesh was much to delicate for regular mail... He wanted them to arrive in good condition for FBI Inspector Donna Thorpe. She alone understood his special talents, despite the pigs she worked with. He'd killed her partner to make her notice his genius, Now, it was time for her family. Soon Dr. O would have his greatest triumph: Her pain.(This book was originally published in paperback under the pen name Glenn Hale.)About the AuthorRobert W.

TWISTED GENIUS...He likes hands.He likes their comfortable shape and weight and size.He likes the portability of the hands once they are severed from the rest of the ponderous body. He might carry them in his coat pocket, carry them to where he works, to the cafe, the park. But really, The Handyman isn't a selfish sort, the hands are for someone else, someone without proper hands of their own. And besides, the "donors" never felt any pain, they barely even bled. The Handyman had worked out every detail.Chicago Police Detective Ryne Lanark figured out the handless corpse probably deserved what he got, that he had violated some sacred code. When a second handless body was found, Lanark knew there would be more, that the slaughter was just beginning. Forensics warned him that the killer was brilliant-amazingly,the victims died of heart attack,not blood loss.As the body count rises, lunatics from all over Chicago begin confessing to the murders. Then, a woman claiming to have escaped The Handyman comes forward. Her description is too precise to be faked. She could be the key to the whole case... or bait set by the Handyman. Either way, Lanark will meet The Handyman... alone. About the AuthorRobert W.
