Novel: Whirlwind (Harper, 1995)




 |
Serial killers come in all shapes and sizes, but this one is particularly
puzzling.There's no pattern to the mutilated bodies that have been showing
up in Albuquerque: both sexes, all races, ages, ethnic groups. There is no
evidence of rape or ritual. Only one thing connects the victims. They were
the victims of a natural disaster. One of the most unnatural natural
disasters imaginable, leading to a most painful, most certain and most
hideous death....
