The Killing Hour
5 journalers for this copy...
A very good thriller.
Summertime and the killing is easy...
For three summers, the residents of Atlanta have been gripped by terror when the temperature creeps up to a hundred. For with the relentless heat comes a vicious killer. Each time, he takes two girls. When the first body is discovered, it contains all the clues investigators need to find the second victim, who waits, prey to a slow but certain death. The police are never in time; the bodies always found months later in remote and dangerous places. As a heatwave of epic proportions descends, the game begins again. Two girls disappear and the clock is ticking.

Very enjoyable, one of the best murder-mystery novels I’ve read in a long time. Sorry for the delay in getting through it !
I did wonder, at one point, if Gardner was a closet Chris Carter fan. There’s a description of a basement corridor if the basement corridor that plays host to the Behavioral Sciences Unit. One poster advertises a Millennium Conference, while another lineup of agent photographs includes a mugshot of an extraterrestrial.
