The Devil's Teardrop

DEAVER. DANGEROUSLY GOOD.

9am, 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 chaos that follows.

A note is delivered to the mayor of Washington, D. C. , demanding $20 million, or the writer will instruct the gunman to strike again, at 4 pm, 8 pm and midnight. The mayor decides to pay up. But then a man is killed in a hit and run accident - and his fingerprints match the ones 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 evidence the FBI have is the note. And Parker Kincaid, forensic document expert, is the only man who can stop the killer. But he's running out of time. . .
